That does presuppose that there are customers out there for whatever kick-ass thing you feel like designing. John Larkin's optimism is predicated on a population of customers who share his idea about what's "kick-ass".
And break a leg. There are cheaper ways of breaking bones and tearing up your joints.

I don't know, to resell? You missed the point.

Strawman. Still missed the point.
The point is that you have elaborate fantasies about stealing things.
Stealing is repulsive. So is TV.

I've been watching the Vietnam series by Burns and Novick on PBS. It's good, but F'ing depressing... they are up to 1968 and I know there are still many more years of war to come.

LOL ok. Seems pretty hard for you to prove that. But you've never been much into objectivity.
Duh. Tell me something I don't know.
No, haven't you been reading John's posts? It's not real because of chaos. Since weather is chaotic, it is impossible for trends to exist and even more impossible to predict them.
CHAOS!!! It's all about the CHAOS!
Maybe John is using hysteresis on the weather signal input and all the noise just evaporates.

The current you describe, of which the Gulf Stream is a part, removes heat from the Caribbean. If it stops or even slows appreciably, the Caribbean will become warmer and even greater storms will be spawned in that area. Am I wrong?

Seems about right. It has been said Harvey dumped the amount of rain it did because the ocean temperature is higher than usual.
But skiing is fun (as long as there aren't too many self-satisfied Swiss around), and fun is what makes life worth living.
Those Swiss people never crash. That's annoying. Crashing now and then means you're having fun.

I design electronics. It works; people buy it. That requires serious objectivity.

If you don't fall down 10 times a day, you aren't trying hard enough.
But then, in Breckenridge, I and my daughter watched a fluent skier, and a few seconds later watched him slide into a ski cannon with a "crump" I'll never forget. We were on a ski lift, and called out the blood bath when we reached the top.
The obit in the local paper said he was a local man.
Too bad your objectivity is so narrowly focused. The *only* thing you seem to do well is electronics. All you need to do is to open up yourself to facts as they exist and not try to fit them into your opinions.

It happens, but it's not common. About 40 skiiers a year die in the USA, about 1 PPM per person-day. Lots of sports are 30x as dangerous.

Only John Larkin could be far enough up himself to think that.
He has to know what his potential customers are likely to buy, and develop that.
If you regard his customers as objects - they aren't - you could claim that knowing what they might be likely to want would be making an objective jud gement.
Sadly, customers are fashion-conscious, and what you make has to change wit h the fashion.

His electronics is competent, and clearly adequate to the demands of his bu siness, but what he does well is present himself as genius designer - and h e may actually believe his sales spiel. He's gullible enough to believe lot s of other nonsense.

Not just sports, of course.
Interestingly the 1ppm/person/day can easily be compared with the delightfully named "micromort". In the US merely being alive "consumes" 24micromorts/day.
The excellent thing about micromorts is that it numerically rams home that it is rational to take higher risks when you are older. The older you are the more micromorts you consume per day, so other activities are relatively less risky.
