Thanks for additional context. I don't agree with this statement though. "Credit is not a zero-sum game." History sadly says differently. It seems many discoveries are made concurrently, yet only one becomes synonymous with the discovery. And wouldn't you know it, as I went to Google a few examples (evolution and DNA were on my mind), I found Stigler's Law of Eponymy[0]. The derivation makes sense for our context here: "Historical acclaim for discoveries is often assigned to persons of note who bring attention to an idea that is not yet widely known, whether or not that person was its original inventor."
