Suggesting a 2023 study on storage prices provided informational context for Moore's 1965 paper is like saying today's €10 USB drive informed the first computers from 70 years ago; the temporal gap makes it a logical impossibility, a negative score on any rational timeline.
Moore's original observation laid the groundwork for the exponential cost reductions we see now, where a terabyte costs maybe 1/1,000,000th of what it did then.
The later Ritchie and Roser data provides an excellent retrospective quantification of this trend, showing storage costs falling by several orders of magnitude, but it's an outcome, not a cause.
It's a valuable empirical validation with a high correlation, but it's measuring the success of Moore's prediction, not informing its initial insight.
