Sure you can say that. Say what you like I will not complain.
One of the biggest annoyances from my past is related to cryogenic treatment. Are you familiar with big wood chippers, huge rotating discs with HSS cutting blades clamped in. Replacing the blades was many hours and it had to be done about every three to five shifts. I figured this was an ideal application for cryogenic treatment but thirty years ago I did not have the capital to start something. Then a guy I had met at a high tech company I did some work for showed up with a whole bunch of money looking for a potential joint business opportunity; so I told him to study up on cryogenic treatment. He must have looked at all the wrong references and spoken with all the wrong people because he came back with a totally negative impression and wondered why I had made that suggestion; which he considered a total waste of time. Needless to say he took his money elsewhere.
An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.
