Not at all, but you're equally neglecting the existence of airships and their rivalry with airplanes at the time (meaning that the principles of powered flight were already known at the time), as well as plenty of examples where technological development and economic development are simply impossible to accomplish via the private sector. For instance would the private sector have developed space travel in its manned and umanned varieties? No. The cost was far too prohibitive at the start. A good CEO would never waste his money thus. Did the good state of Tennessee even bother to handle the East Tennessee region developed by the government and still maintained by aid to people who in your view of the world don't exist and are lies of the International Media Conspiracy persecuting the White Christan Male-the Tennessee Valley Authority? Never. Did the private sector provide canals, railroads, the telegraph, establish telephone lines, build interstates? No, and it never had a reason to do any of this for the cost in all these far outweighs profit margins and would never provide a return in any time to be worth it.
Here also I give you a chance for a last word telling me how stupid I am, how awesome you are, and how if I'd just admit you're right on everything life would be so much simpler. It's a fruitless exercise otherwise to struggle for an honest debate when the argument consists of my facts and specific examples and the other side's "I'm sorry you're an illiterate idiot."
