The part of your quote I was referring to was not that, but the claim that an "everlasting" lightbulb had been invented and suppressed. That is the "urban legend".

I can tell you this I worked in the electronic industry and I know that companies that I will not call by name designed devices, circuit board, etc., that would fail soon after their warranty period. Then if the customer wanted the device, circuit board repaired we would replace the bad components with the correct replacements that should have been in the original build of the device, or boards.
