I'm an idiot, but Shuji Nakamura is not!

I just had to delete a post because I mucked it up in editing and turned into complete nonsense.  In short, it consisted of praising Shuji Nakamura for bucking the system and coming away with a Nobel Prize.  That part was not nonsense.  I suggest everyone learn from his example.  The guy is a winner all the way and not just because he nabbed the world's top science award.
