True enough, though we shouldn't be too hard on him I think. The movies were virtually in their infancy at the time. And he misjudged the market for records as well. He thought that they would be used mostly for recording the voices of well known people for posterity rather than for music to entertain the masses. He also failed to understand the importance of what he called "The Edison Effect" on cathode tubes which led to radio.
