I had an extended thread about this. What you’re saying is basically what I was saying then: how tf would the Church enforce any of this? How can any of this info be comparable?

Link if you are curious. I had a number of scientists get angry at me, including one of the authors. One guy called me vitriolic.https://twitter.com/AdmiralHip/status/1192869222759763968 …

Dr C. M. Bromstick 🧹, Dublin @AdmiralHipSince several scientists can't just take the word of however many medievalists (not just historians either) have said this is bad scholarship, and why, here are some sources. Because I'm feeling generous. https://twitter.com/prof_gabriele/status/1192655774029406209 …Show this thread1 reply 3 retweets 5 likes -

So from day one I was asking where their medieval sources were. And this one scientist (who initially called me his comrade) was telling me how to access their data sets (but it required a programme), but that didn’t indicate their sources to me.

And so eventually I said they didn’t have any medieval sources, because some guy named “Pseudo-Erasmus” told me they didn’t use any (while being rude and attacking me). So then my “comrade” accuses me of not reading the study and being vitriolic.

And I told him I did read it, but that I missed the supplement (but I had been asking where to find any of this info and no one told me). And okay, in the supplement they do use medieval data, but it’s bishoprics and monastery locations? Idk. I talk about it in the thread.

Whaaaaaat. How is this justifiable as an approach? Did any medievalist review this study??

Although it apparently aligns with a small and rather not widely cited book that a German historian published some years back. But I checked some reviews of the book, it has some serious issues.

Lmao some guy accused me of being Eurocentric when he told me about this book (which I had never heard of), which presumably wasn’t Eurocentric. But the reviews of this book accuse it of not dealing well with anything outside of Europe.
