Thanks for your agreement, demonstrated below, that saves me from further
citations.

Not really. You still haven't shown how you know that the polearm is slower and less adept at aprrying than a sword. Nor have I said anything other than the medieval masters appear to consider the sword in two hands as most flexible. And most flexible certainly isn't meant to mean that the polearm isn't super (though I haven't asserted that it is).

And you need to cite how you know that's true. I say it's not true
because the masters of the period, and period accounts, show it to be
false.
