It’s impossible to prove that WWII did not prevent the development of arbitrarily wonderful technology.

It is also impossible to prove that the Great Depression would have ended in the absence of an economic event like WWII.

I’m not asking for proof; I’m asking for evidence. Proof is way too high a standard for almost anything outside of logic or mathematics.

  We’re talking about what might have happened if WWII didn’t get fought. No reasonable person would demand mathematical precision under those circumstances, and you’re assuming I’ve done just that.
  
  This kind of pedantry makes it feel like work to talk to you any further.
