I've heard it said over 90% of all the scientists and engineers that have ever lived are alive right now.

When I hear that statement, I am reminded of Kennedy's statement about when Jefferson dined alone. For Innovation, I would take one "Newton" to the "90%" we have. It ain't numbers that count in Innovation. That just gives us "The Infinite Number of Monkeys" syndrome. We just experienced this problem on 911 with the CIA/FBI.
