No, I gave examples like railroads and canals, and all he said was this: "The optimum level is that which protects the rights of individual action and independence and restricts the use of coercive force on others." I could have just as easily said nice pretty rhetoric about why governmental action is invariably superior to meaningful economic development but I provided examples like this: "The optimum level of governmental influence is that seen in the industrializing UK, USA, and German Empire, which blends positive building of viable economics while constricting the monopolies that inevitably result from attempts to have a purely free market."

The difference between a beauty pageant contestant's answer and my answer, using the UK, USA, and German Empire and differentiating between positive influence and potential negative results of that influence is that of night and day. I'm sure, however, that saying an answer Miss America would come up with is totally equal to providing repeatedly examples of what positive intervention by governments look like and repeatedly getting evasions and non-answers.
