>> p.s. i understand that his theory that the stirrup was the major element in
a causal chain leading to the rise of "feudalism" has been somewhat debunked
in recent decades.
> You are not now allowed to use the F-word in medieval circles.
and i certainly apologize to Mommie Verzucco for so casually using it on this
Family List.
my point was that the causal connection which White proposed between the
"invention" of the stirrup and whatever that phenomenon was that used to be
called by the F-word has been debunkéd.
which just goes to prove that if the F-word didn't exist, we'd have to make it
up.
