To be fair, aviation was stuck in a patent gridlock for a decade or so after kitty hawk. So you could have kept claiming that the "falling with style" trick was pretty useless for quite a while.

    Ironic how I read your comment after writing mine, where I admonished patents, not even realizing how relevant it was regarding aviation itself lmao

    I didn't know the history of patents in the development of aviation, and how it harmed it, that's neat to know
