I don't want to get involved in this discussion since I really don't know
all the facts.  But that last sentence reminds of an outstanding series of
programs on CBC every Thursday morning called, "In the Shadows" about
musicians and composers who may have been every bit as good as some
contemporaries but just somehow lost out in the fame and recognition
sweepstakes.  There are scientists like that too.
