Like the whole big formula of like identifying that versus cook, where I think cook was like glasses, it's going to be the future, but like he didn't, it didn't have the right combination of, can we do this now?

Do you, are you sure this will be a good product?

Are you right?

It will be a good product.

How much will it like all the things have to come together?

The iMac was possible.

The iPhone was barely possible, but possible.

The glasses that seem to be one of Tim Cook's babies, not currently possible in the way that Tim Cook wants to make them.

And he's going to be gone before probably anything comes to fruition in that.

Right.

So with Ternus, it's like, okay, well, if Cook just sick Ternus on this to say, we've got a design problem, go solve it.

And Ternus is competent at doing it.

That's great.

I would love it even more if Ternus was telling everybody who would listen to him, we've got a design problem.

We need to fix it.

And then the people said to him, oh, okay, well, if you think we have a design problem, you go fix it.

And he's like, fine, I will.

And that's how you move up the chain.

Of course, every executive doesn't want their underlings to bring them problems.

It's not a unique thing to Tim Cook.
