It is appropriate here to recall that the so-called Dark Ages began with the flight of the individuals into the protection of lords or chapters and came to an end when the individual again found it to his advantage to set forth on his own. We live at a time when everything conspires to push the individual into the fold.

It's strange how his addition of the phrase "so-called" undermines his entire point. If the Dark Ages weren't a "Dark Age" then what is he trying to say? This is History by Unconvincing Soundbite.
