      As far as I know, no time travel movie has ever depicted the real first reaction somone from 2020 would have if they went centuries back: "Wow, these people are midgets!". Medieval suits of armor look like they were designed for 13 or 14 year old boys.

      The suits of armor that survived were typically either boys' pieces or 3/4 size artifacts to show off craftsmanship. You can measure skeletons and see that medieval nobility were well within modern tolerance.

      That seems a lot more likely.

      In the future, when I tweet I’m not going to assume anyone has read what I’ve written, even if it was five minutes ago. The average height of 18th century Englishmen was 64/65 inches:https://mobile.twitter.com/crimkadid/status/1319499625485766656 …

      Before their height started to decline around 1825, Americans towered over their English cousins. The average difference in stature between the men on either side of the War for Independence was about 3-3.5 inches, which is something like the gap between modern Swedes/Japanese. pic.twitter.com/jPeSMyTd6a

      The maximum height of the most elite of the elite of German nobility in the 18th century was 5’8”; the tallest people in the world in 1880 were Blackfeet Indians at 5’9”. There are numbers everywhere: you don’t have listen to bullshitters.

      It's puzzling to address a claim about medieval elites with data about population averages from hundreds of years later. (and especially from the 18th, a century where heath and nutrition took a notably bad hop)

      The elite of the elite are going to be well fed at any point in time

          Yes, which is why you can't infer the heights of the wealthiest ~2% of medieval society from armor that was specifically selected for not having been dinged up in battle.
