... I am one of those crazy historians who maintain that there
was no "Renaissance", no sudden "rebirth" of civilization.
Well, it wasn't sudden. But it was real. Just because there is no
split second when a man who needs a shave becomes a man with a beard
doesn't mean beards aren't real.

[ If it wasn't sudden, where do you put the dividing line? To carry
your analogy further, if the man grows a beard, is he not the same
man? (Jeez, I sound like an episode of "Kung Fu"!) - CWM
