You need to read again. What's there
is great stuff, far beyond what
you described, that I largely
borrowed from the past 100 years
of engineering and technology history.
The bottom line points are: Getting
through step (4) is comparatively cheap,
when can do it. So, didn't spend
much money. Then in step (5) get
to deploy a solution that has
high promise of big financial gains
with low risk. That's not good
news?
The 'secret' is that by the time
get through step (4), really have
something valuable. So, well before
launch or traction, are quite
confident will get major success.
That's big, huge stuff.
There are many examples from the
past 100 years. Now, note,
that after step (1), steps
(2)-(4) are just technical.
So, we want to know if my claims
for those steps are supported
by history. Well, for an example, at one time
the US wanted to do photo reconnaissance
of the USSR. We tried the U-2,
but it flew too low and too slow
and got shot down. So, Kelly
Johnson proposed an airplane
that would fly at Mach 3+,
at 80,000+ feet, for 2000+
miles without refueling, be
relatively difficult to see
on radar, and not get shot down.
His design and proposal were
essentially just on paper.
The project was approved, and
he delivered as promised. So,
the lesson is, really can remove
nearly all the technology risk
just by work on paper.
Then with the 'big' problem as
in my step (1) and solid technical
work in my steps (2)-(4), enter
step (5) in really good shape.
This is good news.
Sorry you don't see this.
If you want to insist, just insist,
against all evidence keep just
insisting that the usual
wildly unpredictable, super
high risk work of Silicon
Valley venture funded information
technology startups is just
the best possible with all the
risk necessary and impossible
to remove, go ahead.
