" Nothing specious about the idea that if nearly half the income comes from one country that it accounts for the lions share of the incentive for investments in R&D and testing. Investments are made in order to get a positive return. "

The total R&D investment in the world is about 60B Euro's, the US spends 29B, Europe 21B, and Japan 10B. Translated it means Europe spends 72% of what the US does......not a pittance as you suggest.
