My intention was a little bit of sarcasm in that name the true inventory
has become a continuous discussion. We've all learned about taught
standard of the inventory of electricity (I was taught Benjamin Franklin),
the car (Henry Ford), radio (Marconi?) & the light bulb/the power system
(Edison). Later we learn that it wasn't true or that it wasn't as simple
as one person.
I just picked a highly unlickly candidate that would obviously be wrong.
Sorry about the firestorm that followed.
