DeepDive,

I believe West is less important for Btx’s progress from here

Could hardly agree more. Maybe even to the point of thinking West is immaterial to the future.

West is not just "an R&D guy" but way out beyond the leading edge.

The call for "business people," on the other hand, nearly destroyed Apple on its way to becoming the first trillion dollar company.

I really, really liked Adi Mohanty when I saw him in action at an annual meeting

Adi's education:

MS Clarkson University
BS Clarkson University
BE National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli
MBA College Of Saint Mary

There's my dreaded MBA that once made GE a laughingstock when it tried to take over the computing business from a baby IBM. GE hired the best people IBM had - they truly seemed to be the best and went on to greatly expand the field when GE's MBA-headed money machine went bust. The story is a classic refutation of the MBA legend but Adi is far from just another "business people" with just a smattering of science and education courses.

IMHO Mr. Mohanty appears to be the real deal who may take BTX to the stars that formerly blind people cured by OpRegan can scan the heavens for by themselves.

For sure, DeepDive, I mostly agree with your thoughts but I have taken huge hits in the past myself from the wreckage of MBA training. This is, of course, a very personal opinion that is far out of the mainstream.

Thanks for your post.

Best, Terry
