I don't really get it - is it implying that innovation doesn't have to come at the cost of cut-throat competition? I guess I never thought of the term "cutting edge" with the violent connotations that "knife" does.
Oh well, perhaps it wasn't well thought out, and I guess that's what happens when you "try" to be clever...
The idea was basically about the fact that a lot of the people I've known in my lifetime that were truly "cutting edge", visionary, progressively creative, radical in their thinking, etc.; most often these people did not look radical or different, so the idea in the saying was that often times the "cutting edge" doesn't look like what we expect, i.e. different or obvious..
..appearances are deceiving and the those that look radical often times are not.
Oh well, it sure sounded clever, my apologies for trying to be cool! :-p :-)
Do you know the way that people make their hand into an airplane and have it go right "over their head"? ;-)
I actually looked up that yellowest yoke saying but found nothing, is that something you made up? I must say, that sounds quite clever, however, I am a bit slow... so, is that like saying "what's the point" or something? (sorry for being "...dumber 'an a bag o' hammers." [from O Brother]
