Just one point: the Heresy wasn't the major catastrophe; The age of strife
was. That's where the tech level took a quantum leap backwards. The Imperium
ha actually yet to recover from the Age of Strife technologically, they
don't have the STC anymore which was the basis of tecnological knowledge.
The technology is buried under quasi-religious rituals and mysticism and
progresses only at very slow pace. The training of technician consists more
of learning a couple of thousand pages of litanies by heart than
understanding the REAL mechanics of technology. Only unusually brilliant
minds can actually see through the mumbo-jumbo well enough to actually
design something new.
