They invest more than DARPAnet in programs that get earmarked. Entire jets and battleships are researched, developed, and manufactured for political reasons.

I was saying that just pointing out that programs like DARPAnet might not make up for all the other nonsense.

And we can flip that around as well, maybe PARC was spun off from some successful grants, but we're not taking into account these sorts of failures when attaching the price tag to those initial grants.
