Yes, or he might have invested in other 1960s era semiconductor
companies, like Amelco, or Shockley, or Intersil, or Rheem, which had
the distinction of being the first semiconductor company to be sued
over stolen intellectual property.  Hindsight is easy.  But even if Mr.
Always On had known that Moore's Law would be good for another 40+ years,
he could still have lost money.
