Yes indeed. Since I pointed that out once, it might have been me

IIRC it was Eric that made that statement. However, I would postulate that the reason he was able to do so is because the 2T of that era did not conform to his notion of what a 2T must have. We also have to take into consideration that during that time the modern corporation was developed, hundreds if not thousands of inventions that we even use to this day were invented (light bulbs to airplanes to computers), and that not one but three different political ideologies were fashioned. Seems like the whole era was one big 2T to me.

If we look back a few centuries earlier we see something similar happening during the Reformation.
