I don’t agree with the author definition on what is original:
Copying Standard Oil solution (different industry) when it was faced with an equivalent problem, was an innovation in meat transportation. It’s an original idea In it’s own right, nobody did that before, it wasn’t tested, there were no guarantees that “oil solution” would work also in meat.
