Sorry, it won't work. All these brilliant 'inventors' have to
share their brilliance with the world, or whoever they can
stop long enough to talk to. Actually DOING something is
secondary at best, even if they COULD do something!

Which, almost invariably, they can't. Ego too often wins
over intellect.
