All true, but I wouldn't call the trigger mechanism industrious or high tech, neither would I call knowing that yew being more flexible than a pencil the same. That's true.. Except the trigger mechanism isn't the only thing which allows a crossbow to be more powerful than a longbow, and require less training. Also, most people wouldn't call a knight's armour industrious or high tech, except the common picture in people's mind was developed quite late in the era.
