“I’d like to be remembered as an innovator,” he said, speaking from the interior of one of OceanGate’s submersibles. “I think it was [famous American General Douglas] MacArthur that said, ‘You’re remembered for the rules you break.’”
“I have broken some rules to make this,” he conceded. “I think I’ve broken them with logic and good engineering behind me. The carbon fiber and titanium—there is a rule that you don’t do that. Well, I did.”
Man wasn’t wrong. He will be remembered for it.
Monkey’s paw logic at work.
He’ll be remembered for breaking rules yes, but he won’t be remembered “as an innovator”.
He innovated a new way to kill customers.
Yeah, I’ll always remember “what’s his name dumbass sub guy” from now on.
