Comment The third sentence in the lede contradicts the Continuity thesis.

Some continuity theorists argue that the real intellectual revolution came earlier in the Middle Ages, usually referring to either a European "Renaissance of the 12th century"^[1] or a medieval "Muslim scientific revolution".^[2][3][4]

As defined in the lede (and the parathethical: See Scientific Revolution for the contrary view), either the continuity thesis refutes the notion of a Scientific Revolution as defined by the first two lede sentences or the first two lede sentences do not correctly define the Continuity thesis. --Firefly322 (talk) 17:08, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
