What is going on with those renewable funding and performance curves?
This is similar to question about 10time quicker mind and economic growth. I think there are some natural processes which are hard to be "cheated".
One woman could give birth in 9 month but two women cannot do it in 4.5 month. Twice more money to education process could give more likely 2*N graduates after X years than N graduates after X/2 years.
Some parts of science acceleration have to wait years for new scientists. And 2 time more scientists doesnt mean 2 time more discoveries. Etc.
But also 1.5x more discoveries could bring 10x bigger profit!
We could not suppose only linear dependencies in such a complex problems.
