My army grows

1799812 All very true, and you raise a really good point about the difficulties of even using our technology in a low-tech environment. I guess at the time I made that rant I was just sick of how Mary-Sue most of the latest HiEs were. One after another I see "random human shows up in Equestria! How? Who the fuck cares! Now let me completely stop the story and derail it's flow so I can rant at you about my MC's tragic back-story, instead of revealing it in a some what organic way that actually fits how the story has progressed thus far! BOOM! Now my MC is somehow capable of fighting Luna, Celestia, and Discord, all the the same time! How did he get so powerful? Fuck if I know, maybe he found some magic item of Fuck-You-Ultimate-Power, or I could take the even more bullshit route of him gaining god-powers just by entering Equestria! Of course I will only reveal his awesome power around like chapter 10, giving you time to get invested (or in my case, be willing to overlook their mistakes up to this point) in the story before it goes to shit!"

For the most part, I see the thought of "it's magic, I don't gotta explain shit!" being the biggest cause of these shit-stories, and I just want something to change.

I just want to read something good damn-it!

Continuing here from "The Most Uninteresting Man in Equestria," since it's got nothing to do with the story:
The problem with "Human/Guy From Our World In Equestria, with SCIENCE" or any other low-tech setting really, is that the science often gets elevated to a kind of magic in itself: always working perfectly (be honest, how often do your gadgets break down or just need maintenance? And those aren't exactly built in a cave with a box of scraps), the hero always just happens to know what precise technological innovation is needed at all times and how to make it with whatever he's got on hand, and it always trumps whatever magic or other non-science power the setting has.
See, a human who comes to a magical, low-tech setting and sparks a technological revolution, or at least introduces scientific concepts and does some cool stuff with technology, who isn't some technological wunderkind who puts Steven Hawkins to shame, isn't some dakka-obsessed tech-wanking fanboy who's wasted years of his life learning how to mill black powder and 101 other explosives just in case, and isn't some elitist prick who thinks he's better than everyone because he's good at math, but instead is just an intelligent, rational person with either an enthusiastic amateur or an average professional's level of scientific knowledge, and doesn't treat everyone like ignorant savages for not treating the Scientific Method like the Ten Commandments would be an awesome story. It's also the rarest in the genre.
