By numbers of people who have gone to higher education?

By numbers of Nobel prize winners?

By numbers of practicing researchers?

By numbers of technological and scientific jobs?

By the presence of advanced technological infrastructure?

I mean there are tons of ways to "quantify such a thing", and in most of those America comes close to the top or at the top.

You'd need to bring down those numbers to a per-capita basis for them to be relevant though, I don't think America is anything special.
