My biggest concern (and I actually wrote about this a while back) is that management is only here to line their pockets.

This is what I cannot come to believe, even if I try to look with the most cynical set of eyes I can muster. Because if you are right, they would have to:

1. have thought Geoff Taylor was lying (and spent 30 years cooking up a lie)

or

2. have understood Geoff Taylor was telling the truth, but decided the world really doesn't need his invention, and therefore why not take financial advantage of what others don't understand about the plausibility of his invention (before they find out)
