I think you take this wrong. I was just trying to bring up that quite a
few of the things put down around that say "something or other didn't
happen during this or so time or was never common.. yadda yadda yadda.."
aren't quite true if you take a global view on it. :) I just brought up
the chinese take on these weapons of this time because the time and
place is a current study of mine, although I haven't hit the deep
weapons research. I'd say the same contrary things for people who bring
up pure "whatever"centric view. Mostly I see a eurocentric view on
things since it's most of what we learn about and what most people are
interested in.

Actually it's all on topic :) No one said it was just a euro talk :)
