Edison was a great refiner. That being taking existing know-how and making it useful or better.

Tesla was an excellent pathfinder. He was constantly coming up with new theories and devices which utilized his ideas. Tesla was on par with Einstein in terms of his peers of the day except he was more skilled in the physical utilization of his work.

Nah. Tesla went to an Edison school in Europe before coming to America. Once here, he worked under Edison. Edison was the master.
