You are missing the point. Any good inventor or engineer will have data - even a simple ideal scenario calculation - to back up his experiment before proceeding to the prototype stage. They would also do some background research on their concept.

In this particular scenario this concept:

A) Has been tried before. Twice.
and
B) Is unsupported by thermodynamics.

Inventors don't get reprimanded for thinking outside the box. They do when they can't provide any data showing their idea will work. I'm an engineer, and would be reprimanded (likely fired) if I spent $50K to prototype a 6-stroke steam engine and then a co-worker proved it wouldn't work in 5 minutes using basic thermo. I'm sure this is what would happen to vago as well.

Yes, what an awful attitude. How dare he use math or science!
