No, because this is a 'non sequitur'. Thousands of people baught absorption fridges from Electrolux. Sure! But how many of them investigated, whether or not these fridges were based upon Einstein's patent? My guess: not a single buyer did that, because nobody cared. So, we have a few facts: Einstein and Szillard patented a fridge Electrolux gave them (a lot of) money Electrolux sold tons of fridges But where is the proof, that these fridges were based upon Einstein's and Szillard's patent? You only think they did, because Electrolux spent money. But actually there are all sorts of reasons thinkable, why some company would like to give somebody money and declare that as spending for patents. ... TH
