Considering the number of graphs on this website where it's immediately clear that 1971 wasn't the inflection point (in many cases, it's actually around 1980), it's not hard to make this for any other year, especially if you don't care to make it all that convincing.
What makes 1971 truly special is that only goldbugs who really want the gold standard again are insane enough to believe that deviation from the gold standard single-handedly fucked over everything and have the chutzpah to tell you about it even when their own evidence clearly says they're wrong.
