In 1984 or so, I was installing a new system my company designed in an elementary school. One of the kids asked if I could visit their class and talk about computers. During a Q&A, one asked about Japan taking over microprocessor manufacturing. I said something along the lines of "I don't see it. A lot of their chips are just copycats of US chips and they don't work that well. I can't see Japan taking over the market." I immediately noticed all eyes switching over to their teacher and I quickly scrambled to help her save face but I don't remember what I said.
