No it is an example exactly in the incorrect way that you took it. Just because electricity has been relatively constant in specification doesn’t mean it’ll always be the case. You can work with that assumption up to even a third or fourth order approximation. But on some level it’ll fail.

Which brings you to the larger generalization that you haven’t grasped: the further down the stack you go, the more stable it is. Python is nearest the top layer. Hardware changes in decade cycles. Electricity likely in century cycles. Keep going. The laws of physics change never. Obv the time scales aren’t strictly logarithmic. Human ingenuity means we could find some exceptional electricity specification tomorrow and convert the whole world in one decade. But it is relatively rarer.
