Illuminating! (see what I did there)
So apparantly Mazda means 'wisdom' who knew, I thought Mazda meant Zoom Zoom but there you go.
I have recently been listening to podcasts about the rise and fall of Mars Hill Church in Seattle (compelling and troubling in equal parts) - but, related to this, they talk about origin myths. Their examples are the garage of the Apple computer story and the garage of the Hewlett-Packard story, noting that while computers were no doubt built in these garages, in reality research and experimentation took place in many more 'official' locations including MIT. Interesting that even for Edison, that while the research clearly took place before during and after, the story needs a 'eureka day.'
thanks for sharing it is fascinating.

I was told by my grandfather that Edison seemed to regularly over-promise and under-deliver, citing the lighting of the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, by Westinghouse. But Granddad still had tremendous respect and praise for the guy.
