Being "first to file" has nothing to do with being first to market. Being first to market has nothing to do with being first to profitability. Being first to profitability has virtually nothing to do with how quickly, deeply, and ubiquitiously an innovation spreads. In other words, there is no meaningful correlation between a "successful" act of invention and a "successful" marketplace innovation.

Respect for the word- to employ it with scrupulous care and an incorruptible heart-felt love of truth - is essential if there is to be any growth in a society or in the human race.

To misuse the word is to show contempt for man. It undermines the bridges and poisons the wells. It causes Man to regress down the long path of his evolution.

Dag Hammarskjold
