Someone discovering something or inventing something is a rare event. I believe its the confluence of hard-work, timing, luck, good health, inspiration from peers' work, etc. Its even more unlikely that TWO people would be in that exact same situation. Maybe they're 'destined' to be the person whose name gets mentioned in the textbooks.
