    Yes, cus science only advanced when done by corporations. Governments never funded and developed new science ever. Nope not ever. Astronomy and nuclear tech would like a word btw.

      The scale of what government is capable of compared to government plus the private sector are not remotely comparable.

      It is a statement of fact that if private companies were not entitled to the fruits of their research it’s literally impossible anywhere near as much research would be done, and literally impossible that output of that research would be further along.
