Don't be surprised. Big companies are made up of folks just like you, 
using tools just
like you do.They make mistakes too, but there is a door down the hall 
with lawyers in it
to help them cover it up.

In my career, I have embarassed several big companies. It was worth the 
effort. It really
was. But I also saved a few companies from being defrauded, using the 
same kind of
analysis.

If your engineering analysis is sound, based on universal principles, 
and you have the
facts straight, your idea will suceed. Just like day follows night.
