Currently hugged so I can't read the article, but I can only wonder how this compares to the batting average of any given R&D effort. 20% of projects succeeding on a cutting edge technology might be pretty good, no?

Also, given how early in the hype cycle we are, there are a lot of projects that haven't failed yet but will likely fail in the end.
