I think it is likely that if silicon is not the best (whatever the measure is) material then it will lead technology to a local maximum that is hard to escape.

I think it is likely that if silicon is not the best (whatever the measure is) material then it will lead technology to a local maximum that is hard to escape. Another technology would have to catch up in cost and functionality at a tiny fraction of the total R&D cost that went into silicon.
