No, the point is that a researcher working in a laboratory came up with
an experimental 4-bit processor.  The implications of this are independent
of where that researcher was working.  So, he was working in Japan, BIG DEAL!
This doesn't make his achievement any more or less important.  

I hope that the discussion will return to the merits of the device, and
not dwell on the nationality of the inventor.
