Which demonstrates once again that doing something right is far more important than doing it first.

  That's not always true, sometimes first (and worse) is better. VHS vs Betamax comes to mind.

    Except that VHS was released after Betamax, so second & worse video quality won that time. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHS https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHS https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betamax https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betamax

      This IS an urban legend which deserves to die. VHS wasn't of discernible worse picture quality but provided much better usability at the same time.

        VHS was of marginally worse picture quality, but for that small trade-off you got the huge benefit of being able to record a feature-length movie on one tape.
