For the paper I'm currently writing... who is right?

"The most important thing is to have access to risk capital. Markets are in place, but you need money pools for people who just have a brilliant idea," – Eric Schmidt, CEO, Google

“Universities spin out technology companies at an ever increasing rate - but the need is for a much increased venture capital pot to get them started.” – Sir Roy Anderson, Chief Scientific Advisor, UK Ministry of Defense, Head of the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology at Imperial College London

“Our greatest lack is not money for any undertaking, but rather ideas. If the ideas are good, cash will somehow flow to where it is needed.” - Robert H. Schuller

Quote

Every revolutionary idea seems to evoke three stages of reaction. They may be summed up by the phrases: (1) It's completely impossible. (2) It's possible, but it's not worth doing. (3) I said it was a good idea all along.

The beach was great! Snorkeling was a blast. Montezuma's revenge was not so fun. But overall, a great trip - definitely recommend Playa, just stay away from eating at La Carpichoriza!
