To all Naysayers,
No matter what DD has been done, whether direct from the company, it's JV partners, or subcontracted companys (engine or aeroframe), there continues to be naysayers saying things like "I have a hard time believing this concept.", etc (okay maybe not those exact words, but the general concept).
I can't help but think these naysayers would have scoffed at Bell when he first started on the telephone, or at Cousteau when he first proposed the concept of SCUBA, or at Jobs/Wozniak when the started MacIntosh, or how about Horn, Horn and Abbott when, out of their basement, they devised Trivial Pursuit. The point is SOMEONE has to get the ball rolling with technological progress (OK, Trivial Pursuit isn't technical) ... what's so hard to believe PLFM's position regarding ARC??
Granted, this technology may not be of the same caliber as inventing the telephone, but there no doubt were detractors hanging over Bell's shoulders saying THEY didn't believe his concepts would amount to anything.
Give Howard a break. Do you honestly believe he's had the demonstration, established these JV partnerships, and sent people to Brazil all on a whim?? Obviously, someone out there, aside from those on this board, believe in the concept.
JMHO. I'm finished with my bout of "harping" at all you detractors. Someone else's turn now.
