SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the transformation of the word "ROMAN" into "ROWAN" by flipping the letter M to create a W. This playful linguistic exercise leads to the speculation that the famous inventor Thomas Edison, known for his admiration of Beethoven, is negatively impacted by this transformation. The letter V, which phonetically resembles the opening tones of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, further emphasizes this connection. Additionally, the name "Warconi" is humorously noted as an unfortunate consequence of this wordplay.

You can change a ROMAN into a ROWAN tree by flipping the M over to change it into a W.

What famous inventor is made worse by this process?

Pretty simple really.
 
It's speculated that the inventor described above was a fan of Beethoven, which was why the letter V translates to what sounds like the opening tones of Beethoven's Fifth(V) Symphony.

Also Warconi sounds pretty bad!
