People act like science isn't people building on each other. Often the names we know as preeminent were just really good at putting together the pieces others found and finding how they work together. And if that is all they did they still did something others didn't do. I am more bothered by Edison getting credit for shit he didn't do (and also the complete ignoring of the real genius Tesla) than Einstein getting credit for putting together the ideas of others in one unit.
