We had a Phd, Dr. John, come up with a brilliant solution to a problematic rocket motor problem. It was referred to as John’s Folly until it was tested and shown to work. The top manager, Bob, adopted it and it became Bob’s Special. Later the Phd was laid off. I was just the test tech and was not sure of the personality dynamics. I liked Dr. John because he would put on a fire retardant jump suit and help out in the testing set up. He knew his way around the hardware besides the theory.
