I don't like this argument at all.
I'm fairly confident that any single invention or discovery in the history of the world would have happened with or without the person we credit it to, someone else would have done it anyway. But that doesn't change the fact that it is an achievement and doesn't give you the right to dismiss the work the person did.
- nollidge 14y ago> doesn't give you the right to dismiss the work the person did What part of WalterBright's post made you think he dismisses Woz's work?
- jlgreco 14y agoHe isn't saying that he thinks he is doing that. WalterBright was heading off such criticism and micampe was disagreeing with his method of doing so but pointing out that doesn't mean he disagrees that Woz deserves credit for what he did.
