I agree, but that is just handful of them, isnt it?

  Perhaps, but I think there's only ever been a few.

  It's always just been a handful. That goes for any good-doers of the world. Out of a pool of X people who are fortunate enough to have the capacity to do Y good thing, only a handful actually do it. Works well enough.

  History tends to distort things. The present is an era. The 1990's is an era. The 1800's is a era. The renaissance is an era. The stone age is an era. Of course accomplishments per era could decrease when we're judging the last few years against much larger time spans of the past.
