Lol! Good point! :-D
: However, I think there are a few other important considerations as well, now that I think about it. A certain percentage of the people who DO discover perpetual motion and try to tell the world about it will be ignored, misunderstood, etc. They will then simply stop trying to tell other people about what they have discovered because it is not worth the effort. A certain percentage of the discoverers will not even try to tell the world in the first place because they already know it will not be worth the effort. A certain percentage of the discoverers will be so paranoid of someone stealing their idea, that they will go to their deaths before they reveal it to anyone. That almost sounds like a cheap thriller novel, doesn't it? :-)
