Just about any politician will tell you, and the voters, that engineers are too stupid to advance technology and business leaders too greedy to market that better mousetrap all by themselves. It takes the leadership, vision and foresight of a Politician to make the hard decisions that will advance technology and force the engineers and business leaders to implement them. The engineering challenges and potential market profits by themselves are just not enough to motive advancements, at least according to the Politician.
