### If you steal (and you are a true master of idea stealing, plucking
them from inventor's minds even before they manage to transform them
into products and services), you can catch up, but not overtake them.
In practice, stealing cutting-edge ideas is very difficult, so relying
on theft alone will assure you will stay behind forever.
