Doesn't that ignore all possible collapse surviving knowledge and technology/artefacts?
There are millions of books published each year, of which even a lot of the fictional ones contain at least some amount of knowledge. There are millions of farmers, technicians, engineers, scientists all around the globe - what needed to take place to erase all of this knowledge are disasters on a cosmic scale, e.g. giant asteroid or a nearby super nova which are super unlikely. I'd bet that civilzationary recovery will be a lot faster than 5000 years, because we are billions who carry at least some knowledge, hundreds of millions with a lot of knowledge and billions of books and other media with conserved knowledge are everywhere. Even war, the climate catastrophe and similar things aren't enough to erase nearly all of that in my opinion.
