@ master, you seem to be missing the point (and misconstruing what i say... again) - regardless of the chances of humanity reverse engineering alien tech (and i agree that it's not a high chance), a major part of the imperium's problem stems from technological stagnation, and the stagnation of the imperium will continue unless strictures on new or alien tech are lessened. as for the humans preferring their own tech, that is the result of imperial, ecclesiastical, and mechanicum strictures and propoganda.

you wrote - "as you put it, all of humanity will reverse engineer xeno tech, have extremely high technology, and whatever else." really? do you purposely miscontrue things or are you just being dense? when i say humanity i'm referring to those portions of humanity that will be beyond the reach of the mechanicum (and without the astronomican there would be more than a few worlds/systems beyond the mechanicum's, or the ecclesiarchy's, immediate reach). if i meant the whole race i would say the whole race, but to say the whole race would suddenly shed thousands of years of indoctrination and spontaniously start using new or alien tech is not just stupid but moronic.

as for no primarch helping new science projects, at the very least vulkan would be all for tech inovation.

as for the stupid idea, i believe that was directed at "humans in phase-shifting battlesuits traversing the webway in monoliths made from wraithbone", which was meant to be stupid since it was a joke: the clue that it was a joke was by the use of this emoticon :P

i can't help noticing master, that you continuously, on a variety of threads, misconstrue what i post, and occasionally claim i say something which i haven't, and i've considered that maybe i'm not clear enough with my posts, except that, besides 1 or 2 others, no-one else has a problem reading/interpretating what i write.

@ sanguiniuslives, thank you for getting the point.
