Neithan and 'his' epic misunderstandings of life again.

Of course the Mechanicum do research, all the time, private and main stream. We have examples where near tank designs are found and trialed by them before been 'approved' for wider use. The last which springs to mind was the Hunter/Stalker and the Crusader.

The technology is there and understood enough, that's why you see so many in armies, every squad could have a example of plasma weapons, assault squads more so. If they can make super heavy tanks to small arms then the tech is known, especially as clearly the engine seers and tech marines can effect some repairs.It's as much about the repression of technology than the lack of some of it. That been said, it has been lost in some instances.

It's not all about STC's, people still know how to do things. STC's just represent a high quality, interoperable technology.

As for women, you are still missing the point. Every organisation that any standards has entry requirements and these will be designed to catch everyone who exceeds them e.g. if they have to run a mile in 8 mins and push/pull 35kg and show the right attitude *especially as this is more difficult to develop than any physical attribute), anyone performing that or better should be allowed in. That's how standards work.
