I've seen the hotdog demonstration many times and often wondered "if it's so
great, why isn't anyone using their finger instead of a hotdog?" Now I know.

In order to instill faith in a product, it's creator must apply a true life
scenario. He did, I'm convinced.

Ever read about the first public demonstration of the Otis Safety Elevator?

"By 1854, [Elisha] Otis was exhibiting a working model of his invention at the
Crystal Palace Exhibition in New York. When his rising platform reached the
top, 40 feet above the assembled crowds below, he had an assistant
dramatically cut the hoist rope and, like a good showman, bow to the gasps of
the onlookers when the elevator did not fall. The New York Tribune called the
demonstration "sensational" (labeling Otis, "Mr. Safety Elevator Man")."
