nah, it's about brilliance. a Bob Widlar comes along once in a generation, and you can dream of being Bob, but you ain't Bob and you're never going to be Bob. All the loser engineers who create "minute variations" are doing the best they can with what they have. Go ahead and invent a better laser diode with your "natural engineering", and get fucking rich.

(Widlar, who was described as "more artist than engineer", at one point in time [Widlar and Talbert] were responsible – one designed them and one made them – for more than eighty percent of the linear circuits made and sold in the world)
