that's what most innovation is. the model T wasn't the first car. it was the car that was sufficiently refined to take over.

We have very different definitions of innovation.

Please, stop lying on the internet. It's not healthy. Stop making things up.

Making cars faster or cheaper isn't an "innovation". Making a flying car is innovation. Inventing the car is invention.

Systematic government-aided intellectual property theft, lax labor laws, low wages and low standards of living aren't innovative.

The word you are looking for is "invention". Innovation instead means exactly refining and improving existing things.
