Thus the stupidity of a crowd is lost in admiration, even as the brain of an individual uncovers the trick.

There is no point in expending good money on the pursuit of an engine that can power aircraft without propellers. What is wrong with airships anyway? They have borne mankind aloft for over a hundred relatively accident-free years and I see no reason to impugn their popularity...
