I think its the Adeptus Mechanicus that has caused the stagnation of human development in the 40K universe. They have reduced machinery and technology to holy relics, rather than the efficient tools they were meant to be. If the Adeptus mechanicus would embrace technology in the same way as the tau, the Imperium would have and efficient communication system. That would enable the Imperium to span the ENTIRE galaxy, not some fractured excuse of an empire. |
