A bus emits more CO2 than a car. Yet it is more friendly to the environment because it transports more people.

Sure, but at least a few millions are deriving value from it. We know this because they pay. So this value wouldn't have been generated without the investment. That's how economics work.

Those 200M/d prompts would be replaced with some other activities to solve the same problems. So if training did not happen, maybe instead of 200M/d prompts, you'd have 200M/d trips to the local library, using 200M cars to each drive three miles.
Those are 200M/d prompts that wouldn't happen without the training.
