However, although there is much evidence to suggest that Thales made some fundamental contributions to geometry, it is easy to interpret his contributions in the light of our own knowledge, thereby believing that Thales had a fuller appreciation of geometry than he could possibly have achieved.
Subalit, bagaman diyan ay marami na katibayan upang magmungkahi na Thales ginawa ng ilang pangunahing kontribusyon sa geometry, ito ay madaling-kahulugan sa kanyang mga kontribusyon sa ilaw ng aming mga sariling kaalaman, sa gayon paniniwalang na Thales had a fuller appreciation ng geometry kaysa sa siya ay marahil ay may makakamtan.
