I don't know.
Perhaps "freedom of speech" (or whatever variable to call it) is so tightly bundled with other variables -- most of all affluence -- that it's impossible to asses properly.
OTOH, if this bundling is evident across nations, cultures and time, it probably means that it truly is an important part of a net desirable society?
