Did Edision remove the support stem that took up part of the voulume, or is this just another urban legend?

That's the perogative of the boss/mentor/idol, to make the little guy look like a fool even if he is right.

Okay. But you're still taking the wrong lesson from the story.
I've never liked Edison. There's no question that he was an idiot, and a POS. There's the story that he hired the then-reputationless Tesla to re-engineer his generator design, promising him $50,000 for the work. When the work was done, he refused to pay Tesla, saying "You have a lot to learn about American business practice".
