There is no counterfactual needed. Productivity growth has declined, despite the expectation that software would accelerate productivity. I'm asking you why this didn't happen.

There is a counterfactual needed because it is not clear whether the growth would not have declined even more without Software.
Again I'm asking - is there a single credible economist who says that the growth would have been higher without technology?
I'm not even proposing that growth would have been higher without "technology". I said information technology has not increased productivity growth compared to the past. This is an observation of fact.

This is what you said.
