Then how come startups don't flourish everywhere those services are offered? How come, for instance, Israel is the scene of a lot of startups? Or parts of India?

I've heard of quite a few Israeli startups. FilesX being bought by IBM comes to mind off the top of my head. Bangalore is also starting to see its share of startups.

Why does nothing grow if you pour water on a rock? How are large plants able to grow in the desert?

You need a mix of many factors in order to encourage tech startups, and startups can't "flourish everywhere" because many of those necessary ingredients are only found in half a dozen "star cities".

I'm not sure how to start tackling the logical fallacies in your response because there are so many.
