Urbanists way overstate the importance of induced demand and make it seem like gospel truth that adding roads is pointless

I went down the rabbit hole of induced demand studies a few years back, the evidence for the idea that adding lanes or roads does not reduce congestion is pretty weak. There just aren't that many roads being built, theres a ton of confounding factors ( population growth ) , and even some of these studies like the A&M one in this wikipedia are mixed.
