This is quite depressing. There isn't anything special about Watson. Like all scientific discoveries, he was in the right place at the right time, and depending on how you look at it was sufficiently ruthless/ambitious to claim his place in history. But so what? If not him, someone else would have worked it out, just like the people that almost discovered calculus or the Higgs boson. If you want to honour science, then give 5 million dollars to someone who is actually still interested in doing research. He's had his day, and has received all the accolades he deserves, if not more.
