But it makes me crazy when someone claims to be first in something when they are actually late to the game.
I’d wager that they will look like the wheels Falcon Composites made for my Crumpton five years ago using the braided tech (braided tube, wax core, and RTM) that it sounds like Boyd is going to use.

Your hate might be misplaced; it sounds like the technology being described here is using a braiding machine to weave onto wax mold, which is different from utilizing an off the shelf woven sleeve.
Perhaps you can make the argument that there isn't much to gain from a custom weave for something that sees fairly uniform forces, but it's not really the same.
