When they disparage Fuller being in a line-up in an Apple Commercial that includes Dylan, Einstein, Muhammad Ali - my first thought is that it's not that he doesn't fit in because he's not actually notable but that he does fit in - those people notability are also a product of PR. Dylan in particular is in the business of 'image'. Ali for sure and even Einstein's fame was hugely out of proportion with his actual contributions. MLK's job was to grab minds (for a good cause). I used to hate sales and maybe most engineers do but it's really a fact of human existence.

- djmips 4y agoWell I considered my wording and maybe it's the wrong word but for example, Maxwell isn't well known beyond people who are interested in science. So although Einstein's contributions were great there are many many others who don't have the PR. Remember we are talking about public fame.
