harryE strikes me as a big A hole, uneducated, with no manners and disrespectful. Just look at his avatar (big mouth, one tooth and no brain). Also look at his "rating": 36 votes at 1.9 score, it speaks volumes what you and your little brain bring to this forum.
Btw. it's not your concern why Dr. Taylor needed 300k.
His (harryE) opinions are worthless when it comes to POET Tech., GaAs, photonics and good manners.
