I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who argued that scholars in the Middle Ages were rarely coerced by the Church?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Also, contrary to common belief, David Lindberg writes, "the late medieval scholar rarely experienced the coercive power of the church and would have regarded himself as free (particularly in the natural sciences) to follow reason and observation wherever they led".". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
