Predicting the future is ALWAYS wishful thinking. If you could actually do
it reliably you would be a billionaire. Having four companies doing it
doesn't mean the development is 4 times as fast, you just get 4 possible
failures instead of one.


Yogi Berra - many laughed at him - was right. (Look up his body of work
involving malapropic wisdoms...you'll know when you've found the appropriate
one for this particular bit of thread drift!) Perhaps tellingly, he never
became a billionaire.

Who knows - he mighta been a decent soaring pilot!
