India is not a single example.
You don't count India switching to a capitalist system from a socialist system and improving as a single example of the profit motive making things better. Great. What is your point? Let's say it is x number of examples. The claim that was made can only be shown to be true if it is demonstrated that it works in every single example and not some small subset of examples. So pointing out that you think the example given counts as many instances of the claim being true is not relevant.

Your claim that govt run prisons are more humane doesn't "works in every single example" either, as pointed out by GP.
- skh 8y agoI didn’t claim government run prisons are always better. I’ve consistently said they are generally better.
