"In time they would have. I understand that there was some misinformation fed to them. It was simply a "matter of time" -- that's all. Details *always* work themselves out sooner or later."

Germany doesn't have nukes to this very day. How much time do they need?

The Soviets still haven't put a man on the Moon. How much time do they need?

Over-simplifying technical hurdles is the stuff of Hollywood movies and cheap, harlot newsmen.

Details matter. They do not always work themselves out.

You said -- "Germany doesn't have nukes to this very day. How much time do they need?"

They're not trying to build one. And they were prevented from having any before. I don't get the Germany thing. That was "decision" not "detail".


Also, you said -- "The Soviets still haven't put a man on the Moon. How much time do they need?"

Again, another "decision" matter. The details would have surely followed -- because "man is man". American man is not different than Soviet man. Decision then details...


And also -- "Over-simplifying technical hurdles is the stuff of Hollywood movies and cheap, harlot newsmen. Details matter. They do not always work themselves out."

I never said that details *didn't matter*. What I said is that *details will follow decision*. It will *always* come sooner or later. "Man is man." What one man in one place in the world can "work out" -- so can another. We are not composed of superior and inferior races. We are all the same. We will all work out the details -- sooner or later.

Again -- Decisions are made; details are bought (or maybe stolen, even).
