    “I think it was General MacArthur who said: ‘You’re remembered for the rules you break,’” Rush said, smiling.

    Article went on quoting him saying the following (Emphasis mine):

    The CEO acknowledged that he’d “broken some rules” with the Titan’s manufacturing but was confident that his design was sound.

    “I think I’ve broken them with logic and good engineering behind me. Carbon fiber and titanium? There’s a rule you don’t do that,” he told alanxelmundo. “Well, I did.”

    He’s remembered now all right, but for all the wrong reasons.
