No. She came up with the idea, she built the prototype, she had the vision. To name some lackey who only did what they were told an inventor is a disservice.

- crumbshot 6y agoThey both built the prototype. Without a proof of concept that has the actual details figured out to make it work, it's just an idea. Downplaying the essential role of an experienced and knowledgeable engineer as merely being a "lackey" is the real disservice.
- je_bailey 6y agoYour making assumptions here. There's no details on what exactly was needed from an engineering perspective. Was it design? Was it merely the knowledge to work the tools? She hired this person, but would any engineer have worked? If all he did was follow instructions and a plan and build what she designed then he was a lackey. Now he may have been more then that. But all the information I've seen so far has pointed to her being the designer, her being the driving force for this.
- disown 6y agoLackey? That's like saying steve jobs founded apple and steve wozniak was a lackey. Ideas aren't worth anything unless you have someone who can actually turn the idea into a reality. Strange to see this kind of dismissive response of an actual engineer here.
