Yeah, that Edison made some pretty stupid choices, didn't he?

Tell me just what you think you know about Edison, that great man.

Edison was a crook who took credit for the work of others, and pulled off
marketing scams which sent the electrical generation industry back a
decade. He was the Bill Gates/Microsoft of his century, and I don't
mean that in anything approaching a good way.
