I agree. External factors are important. For instance, now you mentioned A. Graham Bell, what about
Meucci (the real inventor of the telephone?)? And then Edison, the diverse circumstances of the
sound-recording inventions, etc.
And yes, we have to see the industry's pressure, according to the decade in question (for instance, now, at the "Internet Age", it is less effective, etc...). There are many things to consider.
