- qorrect 5y agoWritten history is a re-creation of past events and big egos are entertaining. Claude Shannon coined the word bit and fathered Information Theory. But very few know his name, despite his huge influence on our daily lives. This is a long winded way of saying, written history is probably half right at best. Ten years ago I watched a pay-per-view boxing match. At the end, the fighter said "I'm not the greatest but I'll fight the greatest". 2 minutes later the local news misquoted him as saying "I am the greatest".
