The Wikipedia editing-needed tag on this article: "This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: poorly written. Please help improve this article if you can."
No kidding. The sources are not good-quality sources by Wikipedia standards
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:RS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:RS
for the kind of assertions found in the article. This needs a lot more work in reading reliable secondary sources to be worth discussing here. In general, Wikipedia articles as articles to be submitted for discussion in Hacker News are usually not a good first choice of a submission source--I write this as a Wikipedian.
AFTER EDIT: From another top-level comment in this thread, I see the "quotation"
"Never memorize what you can look up in books." -- Albert Einstein
Are you sure that Albert Einstein really said that? The memory of his life is plagued by falsely attributed "quotations" of sayings Einstein never said. The particular "quotation" you mention is listed as unverified on Wikiquote.
