Not back then. Now the West is doing what they did...restricting knowledge distribution. Why do you think I keep harping about the same boring thing? It's to counter this compartmentalization I see happening.
And this "compatibility" was the wrong concept. The notion wasn't compatibility; it was parroting a folklore.
That would have been the last thing that could have been done. All of their infrastructure for all things had to go through Moscow. YOu cannot possibly have a net that is in the shape of a wheel with no rim.
Yes, I can understand this preference. pure task, one at a time, flavor of thinking. Any other thinking method had been beaten out of them when young. Those who couldn't change, were end.

One of today's problems is that there is no longer a single pool that keeps acquired knowledge all in one place for dips when needed. We are no longer guarding the archives of our seed corn.
He was wrong. ASk any female or watch how gossip travels and is applied to solve the problems.
Security through obscurity has existed for a long time. The Cold War response to do intellectualy stuff because of Sputnik was a new way of waging war...
Now consider the existence of an enemy whose goal is to do all internals 100% destruction. Survival is a non-goal; not dying has almost been defined as the...
The way AI has become the magic elixer to solve all questions and problems? He was wise not to.
Quite a few were like that. They must have talked while the toilets were flushing. I don't understand how these people could restrain creativity that has to come out. It may explain the country's alcoholism.
It's no different. Only the centers have moved.
