It’s not about detail, it’s just that what you gave is not a gears-level model.
Sorry, I feel kinda rude just leaving it like that, but… if that link doesn’t help, I feel like it would take a lot of effort to explain in depth, and I don’t think I want to put that effort in.
I made the specific claim that government is a critical part of a modern economy and well chosen policies make a country highly successful.
I give a mechanical reason—those policies cause availability of “public goods”, which multiply the performance of the economy. For example, China building high speed rail and large power networks and large sea ports and mass training thousands of engineers, refusing to fund liberal arts training, and mass training thousands of doctors rather than allowing a medical cartel to restrict supply—these are all government actions with consequences, and they all fit in the class of public goods. None of these things would happen organically from private industry for a number of a reasons that won’t fit in this post.
For this to be untrue—for this claim to be falsified—there would need to exist a counter example. There is not. People advocating for anarchy or various levels of libertarianism are simply scammers, they want their personal taxes lowered and plan to die from aging before the severe negative consequences affect them.

It satisfies the criteria.
