* I was re-reading this, and I strongly agree with one of the comments…."“I don’t care who gets there first, how it happens,” he says. “I just want to see it happen.”" …The statement is either a total misquote or a complete lie, and therefore undermines the credibility of Tom Darden in a huge way. No way ! You have this interpretation all wrong. This statement is fully consistent with a commendable executive – one with both a high level of social conscience and at the same time, a strong belief that he can do it better than the competition; so he welcomes them to join him to push the field forward … but if he cannot do it better – he wants society to benefit over investors. I find this admirable. After all, he must realize that Randell Mills has a 20 year head start and is better funded, and is not burdened with a nutty inventor.
