    That “article” is like 300 words long, contains almost no information whatsoever, and every bit of info it does contain is also fully spelled out in the video I linked - that Edison wasn’t a single-minded visionary, but rather a ridiculously hard worker who worked collectively with his employees to create inventions scientifically.

    The video also goes into detail about how he crafted a public persona to make sure his shop continued to have access to funding to keep up his inventing. I’m not quite sure how that’s supposed to be the nail in the coffin for his reputation though, since it was practically required for him to stay in business.

    Nothing in that article impugns Edison’s name whatsoever (if anything, it fully supports the picture of Edison put forward by the video I linked), so, combined with your posting history, I think we’re done here.
