Pres Eckert independently discovered the stored program concept, which von Neumann included in his EDVAC report. Now we call it a “von Neumann architecture” when it really should be “Eckert architecture,” or one of the British independent discoverers. As you said — von Neumann doesn’t need that recognition — and he likely used his position as a revered wartime physicist to grab it for himself anyway.
