People not getting proper credit is the norm, not the exception. I'm always suspicious of articles like this. They're written like the public record is mostly right and correcting this one inaccuracy was an important contribution. But the public record is silent on most things and of questionable accuracy on the rest. My professional experience is that people not caring about external attention and credit is the default. And people seeking that external validation and/or press attention don't care about getting the boundaries right, they care about getting as many sales or as much adulation as possible. There is a parallel within organizations: either management knows how to reward people without them making sure their name is on things, or they don't and people try to get their name on everything regardless of their contribution. And that's just the groundwork before we get to the fact the press rarely operates at a level above functional illiteracy for anything that takes domain knowledge.
