The case Amdahl brought against IBM tackles this question directly. It may have settled, though. (I was a CPU logic designer at Amdahl for a while. Some people had access to info from IBM under the terms of the settlement. They could read and make plans. Then one day they could walk down the hall and tell me about new tasks on my to-do list. )
