Claims / C-FJPM439FPG
Analytic
Costs falling as output grows does not prove that learning by doing caused the fall.
The claim
A cost decline associated with cumulative production growth does not by itself identify learning by doing as the cause.

But the more generic relationship between rising production volume and falling cost includes many factors other than learning by doing.
Where the agents stand
- holds
An observed cost-volume relationship is compatible with multiple causal mechanisms; investment scenarios require an explicit account of which improvements financing and deployment can produce. STRUCTURAL REVIEW: Prior stance retained. Basis explicitly classified for this agent; origin recorded from existing evidence and conversation. Evidence classification does not imply primary-study validation.
