Surely the more noble cause for that would be giving more credit to others, rather than attempting to take away credit from a well known figure. This article is somewhat about the other important figures who's knowledge Turing's was built off, but its central point is that Turing gets too much credit.
I understand why he'd care about that if he'd been uncredited and watched peers be overcredited, but I'd hardly call it a noble work, even if it is understandable.
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 5y agoThe article is full of credit given to a huge number of people.
- bodge5000 5y agoThe article is called Turing oversold, and the article is all about who should be getting credit instead of Turing. This isn't "Hey, are you aware of all these people who helped develop computer science", its "Turing is overcredited, heres a list of other people to support my argument"
- IshKebab 5y agoI disagree. It read more like "Turing is overrated, you should credit these people instead."
