If enough capital has been installed before learning removes the wedge, the economy lands in the high-capital state,

I looked at the actual article and your instinct is exactly right: it's precisely the kind of hand-waving that makes clicking or not clicking a clear decision point.

thank you for this comment, "wedge" has been one of the words that has been popping up in a lot of LLM writing i've seen lately. (source: it was me asking the LLM to summarize some features in a repo! the words "load-bearing" "wedge" "spike" "crux" and plenty others have been driving me crazy)

edit: as I keep reading the paper, I keep noticing some common sentence construction patterns, stylistic choices, and other little tics that I find frustrating because they are the very same things that I've been working on a few "writing-style skills" to get rid of

The unlock is probably somewhere in that honest, load-bearing caveat.
