"KEY WORD"  "principle"    he didn't offer a viable / economical / able to be 
mass produced   "SOLUTION"!!

Millions of  things are thought of.....even demonstrated [ cold fusion?]  BUT 
 the WINNER is [ the person who gets the $$$$] the one who demonstrates a 
viable prototype product!    Like "intermittent windshield wipers"!!

Like the Monkees' [ musical group of the 70's]  Mike Nesmiths MOTHER

WHITE OUT!!!!!!    Not the idea..   but the PRODUCT!!!!

Where I work....in 1987......Low emissions Gas turbine Engine    15 PPM  of 
NOX!
Didn't hit the market until 3 yrs later!    "CONTROLLING IT"   took that 
long! [ 1st engine disintegrated in 5 hrs.]

I  personally  designed / built and RAN  a "RELAY"  controlled Generator 
set...Did everything they wanted......BUT   it couldn't be mass produced..it took 
too much "adjusting"  for  each  "site" these units would go to [ worldwide].  
 It took the PLC [ computer control]  to make it viable!

No   disrespect to Cobb........just he didn't "follow thru"
