Graham, I think you put a different interpretation upon the question. I was thinking less about the contemporary technology or their technical merits, and more about their social and self-promotional skills in relation to the registration process. The registration review requires the candidate to make a sales pitch highlighting their own talents, and back that up with a live presentation and discussion with a panel of assessors. I think Alan Turing would not have fared well in this process, and from my understanding of Tesla I don't think he would have fared too well either. I feel the process favours those gifted in marketing and social skills.
