>The subject here and now is Wolfram and the irritation of many comes not from the work that Wolfram has achieved on his own but the utter lack of acknowledgement | recogonition of work done by others .. a substantial amount of work by others. He wrote many essays on history of mathematics and science that IMO not just give credit where credit is due, but help immortalize these achievements. We would be also be better off if the people who do interesting things that he wrote about bragged about them - so we'd get more exposure to the interesting things. Ignoring bragging is easy. Finding out what Ramanujan's thought process was when he was coming up with his brilliant mathematics, in the absence of his own detailed notes, is pretty damn hard.
