Pat begins to speak but John politely raises his hand and continues. "Mrs. Harmon, in any event please understand, that there is no shame, to me, as someone growing up in this new system, our new realities, here in America, for errors made by people who try to start a new Power Independence business, yet they fail. There will be errors, and the calculations we make to cover those errors are insured against loss too. How many times did Edison try to find the right filament for the first light bulb, and how many of us, even now, profit from light bulbs?"
