You'd appreciate any kind of economic growth, I suppose, but wouldn't you prefer it if, in the process, you got a vibrant startup scene out of it, rather than if it happened all through education and clean tech? Nothing wrong with that, it's just that, say, your average student or blue collar worker would have a different perspective. The government's job is to figure out what would make most people happy, not what would make techies happy.

"Again, what evidence is there that tech startups achieve this goal more easily than any alternative?"

Where did I claim that?

I was showing evidence and argument that the proclaimed solution from the government isn't going to solve what they attempt to solve. I.e. just because you have better educated population doesn't mean that you get growth.

I suppose, but wouldn't you prefer it if, in the process, you got a vibrant startup scene out of it, rather than if it happened all through education and clean tech?

Can you please explain why I should prefer that?
