Jane, you're right. The original article was just on his thoughts on innovation. I have no idea where it got twisted into "OMG! DEAN WANTS TO GIVE UP THE SEGWAY!"....but that's just plain wrong. The original writing was just about how tough it is to stick to a project when it seems to not go anywhere.
