Keep in mind though, the statement that "and get 3x the functionality" <- right there, that's what is unmeasurable. We can't know. We have no unit of measurement, so no one could possibly know. A practice could be 100x faster, but because software is rarely as important as marketing, sales, and luck, we'd never know. A dev team that's 100x slower could still win, and it probably happens regularly. It's the essential issue with all tech discussions. We assume that "hand waving" someone would notice. But without any unit of measurement, I posit that no one ever will. There are so many network effects that change the success of a software project that is unlikely that even in another 50 years we will have consensus.
