David, your logic is flawed you are comparing market pioneer stories to one out of a dozen competitor in an established market. besides, for every pioneer success story, there are hundreds of failures. your welcome to disagree with me, but not with such irrelevant reasoning. Ironically, your examples have historic flaws as well that indicate the power of marketing, not invention. Ford stole his ideas from barrel makers, and succeeded less from mass production, and more by forcing one model with no options at time when cars were all custom made. Gates was riding IBM's coattails, and his leveraging of that advantage with marketing strategies was his genius. As for the Wright Brothers, it was mostly dumb luck that they never profited from, promoted by newspapermen who love a good story over relevant fact as many Europeans achieved and marketed the same feat that year.
