Most modern historians consider "The Dark Ages" to be a myth.

Even if that weren't the case you are talking about 500 years out of nearly 4 centuries.

This is also an extremely 'Western' centered POV. While Europe was in the "Early Middle Ages", cultures around the world were thriving. The 'Byzantine Empire', The Tang dynasty in China, The Maya Civilization etc. Innovation happened all over the world, not just in Western Europe.

also i consider the dark ages were as important for european development, as you leave a good wine in the cellar or a dough in the fridge for a long time for it to mature and develop a special flavor.
