I think you may be sticking to a too-rigid definition of "technology". (Either that, or I'm using it too loosely, or both.) As with any conVersion of the magnitude that you've proposed, lots of...

Well, replace "racial techs" with "cultural techs", and I think it would do fine. I mean, yes, there's certainly no physical reason that another culture couldn't use the same cultural techs, but...
