Given that people managed to misunderstand 'scarcity' and 'standard of living' already I don't think it was so preposterous.
Anyway there is a difference between stupidity and ignorance.
Using the graphs saved time. They are clearly not perfect, but they generally demonstrate the truth.
If you believe these graphs show the truth then you give authority to aformentioned indicators and hence the research that is based on using them.
Besides there are plenty other explanations to this correlation not involving causation.
Dumb Post of the Year Award goes to....

I don't have any authority to bestow.
Regardless, less goverment intervention equals greater prosperity.
You are talking without having a clue, including Europe as a whole. When Spain has nothing to do with the UK, Greece has nothing to do with Dennmark or even in the same Italy the Northern and Southern zones are different worlds.
It's not the first time you write before reflecting...
Of course not all are the same, but when compared to the US, all look like I said. I can also say, that Texas and New York are very different, etc.
With your same logic I shouldn't be able to include a country as a hole because every region is different, for example:
You can't compare Europe and U.S.A Europe is continent while U.S.A is just country
Some reasons why i think U.S.A as country is richer than all European countries.
Most leading companies are based in U.S.A (Coca- Cola, Apple, Facebook etc) .
U.S.A entertainment sells better i am sure most people know who is Lady Gaga while a lot people don't have no idea who is Elena Paparizou ( Greek singer). Also most hit movies come from Hollywood what get a lot income over the world.
Tax system is little different, most Northern Europe countries have very hight taxes to achieve equality while U.S.A tax system is meant for enterprising people who want make their companies etc. Scandinavian high taxes also guarantee people safety you don't need worry so much when you going to loose your job while in U.S.A you can end as homeless.
Also tried make example of Tax system difference
both get 50 000 but after taxes
1) 50000 * 0.15 = 7500
50000 - 7500 = 42500
2) 50000 * 0.35 = 17500
50000 - 17500 = 32500
A lot European countries are young (Post communist countries).
That's not an undeserved bonus ;-) The American dollar was made the international currency because it's seen as the best choice and America itself had a lot to do with making it so attractive.
It is undeserved bonus, in sense , that there is nothing to do with the production of real wealth by the Americans. Americans simply print dollars and buy in the world a variety of raw materials and goods. If the Europeans want to buy the same goods that Americans get for free, they must give their products in return.
Of course, there are the reasons for the position of the U.S. dollar. After World War II when a large part of Europe was destroyed, the United Kingdom has been exhausted, the financial system of Germany, France, Italy and other countries was completely disorganized, a significant large part of Europe was occupied by the Soviets, Japan was under American occupation. At that time the U.S. economy and financial system was absolutely unassailable.
In many countries the dollar is the de facto second, parallel currency, due to the weakness of national currencies. Even the poors, with many regions of the world, who managed to save some money, immediately converted them into dollars, because they were afraid that their savings are gone.
The desire to compete with the dollar was one of the reasons for the introduction of the Euro. European financial elite have come to the conclusion that without its own pan-European currency can not compete with America. What we are witnessing today is a financial war Europe and America. So far, Europe loses this war. American financial elite would be very pleased the total disaster of the Euro. It would be a third world war, in turn, when Germany were defeated.
