In a way you’re right....Kurzweil’s credibility certainly went up when Bob Moog went to work for him in 1984, 20 years after he introduced the first ‘affordable’ synthesizer! And I may have (in the back of my mind) combined the expertise of Kurzweil AND Moog in my off the cuff analysis! But I’m betting most all are impressed with both geniuses...and just as with Westinghouse + Tesla, the combination was unbeatable! along with the mutual admiration that such genius engenders:

My stepfather used to work fro Dave Van Kouvering, an associate of Bob Moog’s. They had a music store in St. Petersburg FL, where the first synthesizers were sold. Fun stories.
