I really hate that argument. So you're saying only the "pros" are smart enough to come up with something better?

So many of the biggest advancements in auto racing technology did NOT come from some billion dollar corporation but instead they came from some backyard garage tinkerer trying to figure out a neat way to outrun his buddies.

People like Smokey Yunick, Jim Hall, Collin Chapman, Dan Gurney, Don Garlitts all made their names by figuring out how to build a better mousetrap.

Maybe this will turn out to be a failure, but we often learn more from our failures than from our successes.
