Wrong on so many counts. What? How could an eighteen year old from 800 AD know more mathematics than a current university student when Calculus hadn't even been invented yet. For that matter, the concept of negative numbers or zero.
I won't even get into Astronomy.

Thesis: the average 18 year old student in, say, York in AD 800 (the middle of the so-called "Dark Ages") had read more, knew more languages, was better trained in logic, could read more music, knew more mathematics and astronomy than the average student from a university today.
