Oh trust me I'm not straw-manning. There's a difference between you making no sense and making no effort to make your position clear, and me taking your argument and distorting it. You manage to make your own position confusing and nonsensical on all your own, congrats.
For you to credibly advance that the free flow of labour is the ultimate explanation for the economic success of certain areas, you'd have to first eliminate all the other possible factors - economic, demographic, cultural, etc - that have an influence on the economy's performance. You haven't done that, not even close. You just have a small mind incapable of grasping all the dozens of factors involved in an economy's performance.
I never tried to make the case that the free flow of labor is the sole reason for their economic success. Pretty text book straw manning going on here.
