> The goal is to get the objective part correct in giving credit where it is due. This also helps solve a whole host of other issues you might not believe exist, but even from that standpoint, this is the right thing to do if you truly want mathematics to be objective. You're confusing mathematics with the history of mathematics. The latter does exist as a discipline and can be interesting in its own right, but its insights don't fundamentally change what's mathematical truth or what not. It doesn't matter in the slightest who first discovered (and who first proved) that a^2+b^2=c^2. But you're not going to be able to change a name that's literally been around for centuries just because you don't like it for some arbitrary reason. Also, IMHO, if anything it should be called Euclid's law of triangles or something, because his is the first known proof of the theorem. That the Babylonians and Egyptians knew about it is cool, but they didn't give us a proof (nor do I believe did they care about proof; that's a pretty Greek invention).
