I agree with you; Tesla was an amazing man.
But I disagree with the narrative you linked in one respect: having an earth-shattering, world-changing idea, but forgetting to write it down is really dumb.
Having a raft of of them, but failing to have the nounce to employ a doucheXXX to monetize them for you, is really, really dumb.
