Broken window net prosperity equation is not easily calculated.

It’s quite easy to calculate. Things that are destroyed are not wealth and cannot create more wealth. So destruction is loss on top of loss, and loss is not net prosperity.

Enco, the oft-cited extraordinary claims requirement is a logical one. Not sure this is an extraordinary claim however. Has anyone defined it satisfactorily? On the other hand your skepticism is sensible. Memories are fallible. Sometimes the speaker intends to deceive.
