I didn’t say spears didn’t win against swords.

Spears are easier to wield, it’s a pointy stick. It requires less training to use. Requires significantly less materials to make.

They are a standoff weapon though, in close combat a sword or small bladed weapon wins. Different tools for different purposes.

The information I’m parroting is from experts and historians and literature and everything I’ve read over my 4 decades, it’s common knowledge at this point and not really worth “arguing” imo.

There's this really annoying trend on the YouTube HEMA-type channels where they give unarmored and unshielded amateur college students swords and spears to "test" swords and spears and then crown the spear best weapon, no notes, no context.

Well my anedoctal evidence is diametrically opposite to yours.

It's time to invoke the sacred sources.

Your sacred source might as well be what I just said, so cool thanks.
