I don’t think OP was suggesting that Ada Lovelace wasn’t aided by her privileged position. Rather, they were saying that even though she was privileged, that doesn’t take away from her significance as a woman who was a pioneer in computer science. I doubt that is a controversial point. I think all three of us probably agree, and you may just have misinterpreted the original post.
