The point isn’t that you need citations - it’s that there is nothing to cite that can credibly inform us as to the size of the remaining gap.

Well. I'm really not trying to get the last word here. But if this is a problem, that if we don't have any a way to credibly inform the future, then we can't talk about it, then how can we ever talk about anything. There is entire cottage industry of futurists that don't have any way to judge how far off there predictions are, to inform the remaining gap. Maybe you have same issues with them. And maybe I do too really, I'm pretty perturbed by so many researchers switching context and vocabulary to fit their own narrative. I'm just some joe schmo with an opinion, and am only pointing out that advancements have been occurring at a really rapid pace and almost universally (opinion) all predictions have been wrong so far. So maybe this gap will close rapidly.
Or more to the main post, a lot of head down engineers cranking out solutions do loose sight of how far they are moving.
