I think people downvoting this didn't spot the sarcasm.

Induced demand is a myth. https://www.cato.org/blog/debunking-induced-demand-myth

Adding more lanes does improve throughput even if congestion is still a problem.

But that's literally what induced demand is. More lanes might mean more throughput but it's still jammed because more people make the decision to use that road. Wow.

More throughout is the goal, and you admit this is achieved, but still claim there's no reason to expand. Wow indeed.
