Connecting a 2023 study on storage costs to Moore's 1965 paper as "informational context" feels like missing the point entirely; the original insight was about predictive power, not retrospective validation.
Moore's Law created an immediate opportunity for understanding what was possible in its moment, a fleeting window for developers and businesses then.
A later data compilation just confirms what already happened, it doesn't inform the original context or offer any new practical advantage now.
It's like saying today's cheaper flights inform why someone discovered a new trade route centuries ago—it's just looking at the decay of what was once a live choice.
