With a living person you're always burdened with this idea of fair representation, treading this fine line between honoring the person, and yet you really look at the word "honor," it implies that you then have to address struggle and hardship and failure, and all these things that it means to be human, that you show the fullness of their life. If the person's living, they are able to interject.

Edison was by far the most successful and, probably, the last exponent of the purely empirical method of investigation.

His mind was dominated by one idea, to leave no stone unturned, to exhaust every possibility.
