I know precious little about EDA. But why cannot it be a little of both -
well, typically, any new product is maybe 5% genius, 95% hard work, 50%
hype.

Sounds like a good thing.

You know, 90% of all statistics can be made to say anything, 50% of the time. ;-)

Ah, but 72.3% of all statistics are made up on the spot. ;-)

So the question remains as to whether it's a "good" new abstraction
then. ;-)
I suggest that extensive practical experimentation is the only way to
determine this...

HAHAHA! (Off topic: That explains the Crysis phenomenon, although I would
give Crytek a 15% genius score for CryEngine2, (Sandbox 2 editor)), and 85%
for hard work, (which is probably acceptable for a game making company). And
yes, 50% hype.
