Since you cannot produce a reasoned counter arguement. Can no longer insist that it's an arguement of 'induced demand' you go off a side road of being insulting.
The improvement at peak times from an extra lane is minor at best because the number of drivers ALREADY on the road is such that the extra lane quickly becomes blocked due to poor driving technique.

You want to get me back, show me how poor driving doesn't reduce capacity or how an extra lane can overwhelm it. Take your best case senerio at peak travel times, the ability to around the blocking drivers scattered across the lanes. Explain to me how people changing lanes frequently to get by blockages in traffic doesn't have a negative effect on capacity.
Can you do it? Or will you just babble more about upperclbuttmen topics?
