That's an interesting point and I'm sure that your conclusion is true in many if not most cases. Honestly I haven't thought of that. However, I would posit that, likely because of the way things are taught and because people use it as shorthand, there is a portion of the population that doesn't understand the link from "because (as a result of) Moore's Law" -> "based on the assumptions described in Moore's Law" I guess the issue would be how much of the population falls into that second group.
