Only in the sense of "has an attribute others we tried before didn't have". Not "uniquely possesses that attribute".

  That doesn’t make it any less important or remarkable though? I guess I’m struggling to understand the push to trivialize it. Transformers came onto the scene and the entire space exploded. Setting aside any technical/theoretical lack of uniqueness, it’s hard to ignore the real world results.

    >That doesn’t make it any less important or remarkable though? In the historical sense? Because in the practical sense, if it's just the first to have this attribute, but we find others with the same attribute (as we apparently did), then it's not really important or remarkable anymore.
