Here is what I think (since you asked):
Dean Kamen is one of the best living inventors. For you to bash him for being "bad", even while knowing that he invented something that makes the life of your friend easier, is extremely short sighted.
Even so, if I turn your logic onto other famous people...
Babe Ruth probably should have "stuck" to pitching for the Red Sox. He was a pretty good pitcher.
Albert Einstein should have "stuck" to working for his uncle and father.
Nikola Tesla probably should have backed down to Thomas Edison and not tried to develop this new sort of electricity called AC.
Dave Grohl probably should have relaxed and lived off of Nirvana royalties.
I vehemently disagree.
