Whatever you say my friend.  I'm not inclined to start an argument with you.

  No, he did not fail high school algebra. He was brilliant in math his whole 
life. His only weak subject was foreign language -- French, as I recall. This 
is described in every biography of him. See, for example:

  Before you make assertions about famous people, you should read their 
biographies. Do some fact checking. I realize it is widely reported that 
Einstein was not good at math, but this is highly implausible. His work 
includes a lot of complicated, brilliant math. A person does not go from being 
a failure at math at 16 to being the best on earth at 26 (in 1905).


  Along similar lines, when Edison developed the lightbulb he did it with 
capital from some of the biggest, most famous bankers and capitalists in New 
York, including J. P. Morgan. He spent a ton of money. The first place he 
installed lights was lower Manhattan: Wall Street and the offices of the New 
York Times. His company evolved into General Electric. In other words, this was 
a big money, mainstream effort. Do you think J. P. Morgan would pour money into 
a project run someone who had been a failure up until then?
