Thanks for your reply. I'm glad you cleared this up. I'm sorry if I read too much through your statements.

The last feeling you mentioned is totally aligned with I was trying to say: to emphasize if you are an inventor type, you'd want to evaluate the risk of serving at the pleasure of the king carefully; it isn't necessarily a bad value proposition, but it certainly carries the risk of getting derailed or axed. Same goes for people who sell their companies to others; you cannot expect them to move forward with your initial vision.
