While I see the point you're trying to make, your math assumes widgets last exactly 1 year, which is generally not the case with most goods, except those produced for immediate consumption and maintenance e.g. food, gasoline, hygiene and health products.

Also, the basic math can be so vastly different in reality, that there will be huge leeway in terms of how many people can retire.
