Right, and the church didn't shit on discovery because it thought that the discoverers were wrong, but because they worried that they couldn't shit on the uneducated peasants if they conceded.
Silly atheists.
Anywho, I'm not sure I can sign on with this idea that agrarian laborers don't need to be educated. A big...biiiig problem..for all of our history, is that they haven't been. We certainly don't tell any of our agrarian children that they should just work the land like their ancestors - like I did, like my dad did, like my granddad did so on and so forth ad infinitum..... because we know better. Hence the extension and land grant systems. The two big issues when I got into this were return entry intervals and irrigation. The biggest social gains in the medieval period came from precisely that. Those peasants were agrarian modernizers and for much of that time they had to drag their silly church along kicking and screaming.
Because the church was invested in the status quo that privleged them, not the one that liberated their serfs.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
