Mentioned in one sentence as an analogue to Kaydon — Tom got the chance "about 20 years later, to screw that company that screwed the other company, just by chance." No further detail given here; presumably developed in another lecture.

I could tell you half a dozen stories in different industries. One, big forgings for ships, where a company got screwed by another company. I did have the opportunity, about 20 years later, to screw that company that screwed the other company, just by chance. I could tell you on the V-22 Osprey how that court of inquiry was rigged. They were told they had to find something that could be easily fixed — this may be on one of the other videotapes, so I apologize. The Marine lieutenant colonel, or maybe a Navy captain — the guy who headed up the board of inquiry for the V-22 Osprey Ship Four crash — told someone in a bar one night that they were told they had to find something that could be easily fixed so Congress wouldn't scrap the 40-billion-dollar program. So that one was rigged.
