Did you read the article? No, people can't "decide" to eschew iron age technology in favor of sticking with bronze, nor to stick with plate armor and swords when the enemy is using firearms. People who so "decide" will soon - which is to say, within a small number of generational cycles - be conquered by others who use the more effective technology.
You didn't read the article, did you?
