Yes

But NBS is one of the most arrogant men in the world.

In his time he had some of the best staff available but he never listened to any of them. If he did just maybe he would still have control of LB.

I also remember how he was scathing about not only the Japanese but would howl with laughter about a Chinese forklift. Look what happened then !!!!!!!!.

Don't use him as a guideline or you will end up in China.
