So, do you consider the Wright Brothers and Bell Helicopters
to be scams, also?  One used a bicycle shop to fund a 20 year
long quest for powered flight, while the other spent 15 years
and 1.5-billion developing the tilt-rotor aircraft.  How is
that any different from Moller manufacturing products like
mufflers and motors, and doing contract R&D, to fund his
dream of the flying car?  In your world, would you have
put someone like Dean Kaman in prison for using profits from
his dialysis machine to fund the design of the Segway human
trans****ter?  I guess you would have been leading the effort
to have Galileo blinded for looking into the heavens with
his telescope.
