High late medieval times, was when the inquisition lost power.

And in ancient greece there were already concepts of a steam engine. I call that signs of progress not happening for a long time after that.

High middle ages is 1000-1300 AD. Organized inquisition wasn’t even a thing until the second half of that period.

And it remained a concept (or was forgotten entirely for hundreds of years). So it hardly means much..
