Very interesting presentation. I think comparing the people (and organizations) involved in historic scientific discovery provides an enlightening perspective. It definitely highlights how accepting risk is usually the better path, in the long run. It's a tough lesson to accept.

Steve,

You org chart that shows Shockley to Clevite to ITT to dead end isn't perfectly accurate. My dad has been in semiconductors for bearly 40 years, used to work for Clevite and was at ITT Semiconductor for maybe 30 years. He left ITT with a group that started a new company spinoff and was since acquired by Microsemi.
