No, you’re not. You’re asserting or proposing it, but you haven’t argued your case in the least. And before you start to do so, it’s a very silly argument.
Your point being?

And what did the Swiss ever do of any consequence? In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.
IMHO if you are going to post a verbatium quote (Orson Welles’s The Third Man) you probably should provide all due acknowledgement.
YMMV
There is no question about that. For Pallas Athena is the font of all knowledge, and She desires humankind to better itself. But She acts discreetly for the most part. Wearing many faces and in divers guises, slaShe approaches the brilliant and poses an interesting question, leaves a moldy orange in view there, and so forth, seeking to inspire rather than to direct.
