Whether synDNA was stumbled on or not doesn't matter. Nylon was stumbled on, Scotch Tape was an attempt to improve sandpaper, two brothers named Johnson came up with some underweight bars of soap when they whipped in a bit too much air ( they were about 99 and 44 hundredths percent OK though), some guys named Wrigley and a failed Mexican dictator were trying to replace rubber couldn't vulcanize it and decided to chew up what was left and a fellow named Sutter was just having a big ditch dug. Some Italian guy named Chris something? Stallone, no, uh, oh, never mind....
