Beyond the fact that adding five more lanes would still leave you with a horribly inefficient transport system, you also ignore that externalities that you are exacerbating by doing so. You're displacing thousands more people, worsening the division of communities, creating a lot of noise and air pollution, increasing car dependency etc

Your last paragraph is tangential to what I said. It doesn't disagree because it says something different. It's also oversimplified in some ways and just wrong in others.
