Diocletian when he was just one in a long line of manuscript burners in Antiquity.

Go ahead. Name a few others for me from antiquity, and provide documentation. Psychos from the Middle Ages like Savanarola don't count.

And the point of the post wasn't to signal that Diocletian was somehow unique. It was to refute the notion that Christianity was responsible for the destruction of Classical scientific knowledge, such as it existed at all.
