Mr. Greenfeld probably didn't mean the statement "We couldn't have done
it without Dylan" in a technical or even scientific sense, but in a
practical sense as "We couldn't have done it within the commercial
constraints which are prevailing within our environment", don't you
think so?

Why do you think that managers don't know that they have to invest,
before they gain? Only the relation between investment and return of
investment must be ok, and the amount of time in between. I'm quite
confident that are must be projects which can prove this for the use
of Dylan.
