Well, let's see, it took Steve Jobs less time to go from an idea to a
billion-dollar corporation than it has taken this guy to go from an

idea
to
an ad on web site. Maybe he should see if Jobs will consult eg.

Maybe the drug companies should see Steve Jobs about speeding up
development
on some of the cures that they have been working on for decades.


Those "cures" require a tremendous amount of cutting edge research and
then elaborate clinical trials and an extensive government approval
process. The Sawstop has already been demonstrated, and the only thing

the
government wants to know about it is how much tax the manufacturer owes.

Some
things simply take years to develop, some things take a blink of an

eye.

So, you admit that the Sawstop is so flawed that it is going to take

years
of research to make it work adequately if in fact it can be made to do

so?
If not, then what _are_ you suggesting?


It seems to me that he is saying that some things, no matter how simple

they
appear, may take longer to develop than something that appears 1000 times
more complicated. Such is the case with Apple computer...he faced no
opposition, no competition, no corporate behemoth, etc.

I don't see this as being a valid analogy. Computers existed before the
Apple. IBM existed before the apple. Where is the corporate behemoth that is
squashing sawstop? It is, like most analogies, false.
