This is always an interesting question; I definitely do not think though, that the answer is "without a question".

you are right, it is a naive high level view and a deeper analysis is probably warranted... but i think its a pretty defensible position once you start looking at details, and especially if you are willing to lay the entire of WW2 at his doorstep... certainly in terms of human life lost and impact to industry and economy, its hard to think of a 'single event' from the past 100 years that even comes close.

For sure, I agree.
