I'm saying that if the residents technical knowledge ever went down to dark age (or pre-roman) levels, they would never make it back up.

Precisely. They might make advances of their own (ie crystal tech) but the Spires themselves will be "winding down" and eventually, inevitably fail....
If The Enemy doesnt bring them down first. *cue ominous music*

It's more than just the "Enemy". Unless we believe that the entire Auroran high command has been Nfected (for the lack of a better word), then there has to be a reasonable military reason why they were willing to spend so much to burn the library. Consider that they only sent ~25 men to destroy the main crystal vattery which could have crippled Albion's fleet, while they were willing to spend 450 men to make sure the library burns completely to the ground.

Are we sure those plans were formed by Auroran High Command and not Cavendish?

The major in charge of the marines talks about getting a promotion and how killing Cavendish would look bad back home. Also, combined with the destroyer attack, it's pretty obvious that the attack was well planned out and sanctioned by the high command. I suppose it's possible that Cavendish convinced them of the importance of that one book, but I would think that a more concrete advantage would be something more understandable by the rank and file.
