Now that might make a difference.
A lot has changed in both fields since 1986.
It is difficult for anyone to keep up, and if a person's primary interest is in business, not in the degreed field . . . .
And if he is trying to micro-manage the Lab126 crew -
that would explain their prior years of developing something that looks like a 20 year old (1994) embedded system.
If he just went "hands off" the development crew - there is no way we could keep up with (or ahead off) a full-time, paid, crew of professionals.
I think you got the answer -
Bezos has let this become personal, and is micro-managing Lab126 using his very out of date knowledge of the technical fields.
