   No, because this is a 'non sequitur'.   
      
   Thousands of people baught absorption fridges from Electrolux.   
      
   Sure!   
      
   But how many of them investigated, whether or not these fridges were   
   based upon Einstein's patent?   
      
   My guess: not a single buyer did that, because nobody cared.   
      
   So, we have a few facts:   
      
   Einstein and Szillard patented a fridge   
   Electrolux gave them (a lot of) money   
   Electrolux sold tons of fridges   
      
   But where is the proof, that these fridges were based upon Einstein's   
   and Szillard's patent?   
      
   You only think they did, because Electrolux spent money.   
      
   But actually there are all sorts of reasons thinkable, why some company   
   would like to give somebody money and declare that as spending for patents.
