Yes, if you <i>presume</i> growth results from problem solving, then it&#x27;s trivial to argue that it must. But it&#x27;s also fairly trivial to show growth that results from <i>causing</i> problems, too. Like certain kinds of monopolistic behavior.<p>For example, if my ISP charges my $10 more a month, they aren&#x27;t necessarily solving any problems, but it&#x27;s still growth for them.
