If a dentist had an actionable idea for a DVR and the drive to make it happen, he could have made it.

Yeah but if a DVR firmware developer had an actionable idea for a new form of filling substrate it's unlikely he'd be able to get his idea to market. It's a regulated area practiced by individuals with academic and industry accreditation

(unlike the DVR, and wider software/hardware, industries which has no real formal accreditation or academic requirements. This is why your way around works and thus the answer to OP is "depends which market").



Well, he could set up shop in a non-regulated region and make a killing.
