The raw data is what you actually measured at each sensor site - there
is *nothing* more fundamental than that. You are showing your ignorance.

We can conclude that the reason Kodak failed was because they were daft
enough to employ people like you and the other ****wits in marketing
that managed to launch products almost simultaneously with names that
were anagrams, homophones or synonyms of each other.

Kodak at one time had world leading digital technology but chose to
squander their advantage to milk the analogue film cash cow until dry.
They succeeded but the cash cow died as a direct result.


An old story. American electronics manufacturers dinked around with
overpriced transistor radios. Then the Japanese introduced transistor
radios for cheap and followed up with transistor TVs and a bunch of
other solid-state consumer electronics products for not cheap and ate
their lunch.





USA has NAFTA available, this is not an excuse

Kodak had a plant in Mexico making consumer digital cameras under NAFTA
