I commented before that if you give a 8 year old a few billion dollars and you end up with a cloned woolly mammoth at the end, that doesn't indicate that the 8 year old is a visionary (no matter how many Mammoth Facts™ you get out of them).

It means that the problem was at most a few billion dollars away and you needed someone who either has a total disregard for the money (or who can afford to lose it and doesn't care) to actually execute on it.

It doesn't mean it was the best use of that.
