  1. I enjoyed that explanation a lot. It's easy to criticise and please forgive me for my one minor gripe: "to beg the question" is a very very frequently misused expression. It actually means that someone has given an answer that doesn't add any information - often it is just a restatement of the question. It's a trick that e.g. politicians use to avoid answering. I think you want something more like "which raises the question".

  2. Engineers alwas have reasons why they do not need to adopt their competitors design strategy - I remember this at Nokia when the iPhone came out. There was this reason and that reason etc so in the end - failure.
