I'm not going to bother writing a vast tract of detail, all of which I haven't thought through and would not bother to think through and certainly not write about when it will be simply ignored. If you haven't thought through your point, why should anybody pay attention to it. Shouldn't ideas that are poorly thought through be ignored? 27 years ago I was advocating that BP Oil International set up R&D and education in China to hire IQ 170 girls and boys who were wasting their days away in the hutongs and paddies and teach them the things they'd need to know to join BP. Now, I own Qualcomm and we are hiring lots of people in China to work on mobile Cyberspace development. I'm sure our employees like working for Qualcomm a lot more than assembling millions of soft toys in a sweat house. Too bad for the sweat house company. OK, so you advocated an idea. You wanted boys and girls with 170 IQ. How many were you planning to collect? Did you estimate how long this would take, or where you would find them? That Chinese people are working for Qualcomm doesn't help much to educate the 100s of millions of unskilled workers. Maybe your point is that China needs 100,000 more Qualcomms to get the job done. Good luck with that. BP would pay a bit more than the rice-paddy price to attract them to the education and apprentice programme. You suppose that this could happen, or better, you know this did happen? If this did happened, what was the return on the investment? If this was only a plan, what was the expected ROI? Are you only supposing that something "good" or profitable could have happened? British and German scientists to do R&D which could have been done by Made in China people are a tenth or 50th of the pay. This is an assertion that I can't easily accept. In fact, I find it highly implausible. You offer no evidence that this has ever worked in the past. This is only your supposition, and so I can't take any lesson from it.
