Because it proves you wrong and this lame ass thread.
Because Argentina and the Southern Cone is not some special entity that stands out above all other neighbouring countries like a lot of people are claiming here when in fact it's a really troubled country from an economic standpoint.
It's deeply tragic and ironic how Argentina is at once perhaps the most developed country in Latin America (Chile aside) - and certainly has the backbones of being one if not the actual functioning of one - and yet is one of the most backwards in terms of corruption and political/economic dysfunction.
Chile and also Uruguay are considerably ahead of Argentina in an important number of respects.
Argentina would be quite a bit ahead of where it is, if it were as relatively under-corrupt as Uruguay or Chile.
Argentina was once the most developed Latin American country until near the end of the 20th century when it backfired on them through government instability amd corruption.
Now: Brazil, Chile, and Mexico are the big 3 Latin American economies with a growing middle class.

Brazil, India, Mex are not in the same tier as Chile. Chile is more like Croatia, Hungary, Portugal, South Korea etc.
Brazil, India & Mex are large countries, but not on any emerging first world status
Brazil and Mexico are definitely in a different league from India. Both are mid tier first world coubtries with a somewjat good quality of life (minus poverty, which Chile has as well).
India os still a developing country like China, but ir has a population to be a potential economic powerhouse, but it has a much huger extrme poverty levels and low quality of life (garbage everywhere).

India is now the 5th biggest economy by GDP. Offshoring certainly transformed India. It has a long way to go, but integrating over a billion people into the global capitalist system has already had major effects on global markets.
Argentina was great before immigration killed it...
No, it has been gradually declining ongoing due to Peronism, Junta dictatorship, Falklands War, convincing themselves as European instead of as a Latino country, corrupt politicians, and massive inflation.
your two digit IQ (or maybe it's the education system of your country, Chile) doesn't allow you to comprehend that HDI is an exponential function, meaning that there is a much larger difference between the higher values than between the lower ones. But, anyway, HDI is just one single index, and a not very accurate one. Venezuela has a higher HDI than Mexico too, you wouldn't say Venezuela is one of the most developed countries of LatAm.
anyone knows that South Korea's economy is much more advanced than Chile or Mexico's. South Korea is a high tech country with a highly educated population; Mexico exports some manufactures like cars, plains and other technologies and Chile would be on the bottom of the three, being a commodity exporter only. Mexico and Chile's population is not that highly educated, being you the perfect example of this.
South Korea: 2 in the top 200, 7 in the top 500, 21 in the top 1000.
Mexico: 1 in the top 200, 1 in the top 500, 5 in the top 1000.
Chile: 0 in the top 200, 2 in the top 500, 2 in the top 1000
