I think that engineers' opinions are usually not that unified, but I think there was a broad spectrum of opinions and enough of the good ones were doubtful about the strength of the idea that their concerns should have been considered. This however, is not the first time (and not the last) where otherwise brilliant engineering executives look purely at the dollar signs in a business opportunity and chose to downplay/ignore the engineering risks or novelty of an idea.

I understand that you guys like to repeat this story. Do either of you actually know any engineers who were involved in that decision? Or can you point me to a credible source for that story?

TIA,

Dave
