That's the thing. You haven't lived through what they've lived through. And the weapons weren't the source of the problems -- the labor-saving devices (robots) were. And anyway, I didn't get the impression they're getting rid of all technology; they were talking about farming and building houses, after all.
"There's a difference between high-tech vs. low-tech and people who have not developed higher intelligence levels (they stated on the show that the people they came across were pre-verbal)."
Baltar stated this after watching a few of them walk a bit from a distance. Not exactly a reliable anthropological study. And verbal ability has nothing to do with intelligence anyway.
"I thought "spirit" #6 and Baltar were angels, and therefore beyond humans/cylons."
That's not the part of the coda I was talking about (I meant the robot montage at the very end). But then, I was responding to your comment, so I guess I misunderstood what you were referring to in the coda. :-)

I was just reading up on this, actually. I took the notion that they were pre-verbal (again, based on a quick look, not a study) to mean that they had not yet fully developed the cerebral cortex. This would mean they lacked many higher brain functions, and therefore, were not as intelligent. However, as you say, that may not be the case.
I actually like that they featured the gynoid at the end (though that thing freaks me out).
