I guess you are right, this banter does indeed not help us learn anything. The quotation for the second founder was to refer to the fact that some (maybe inaccurately) dispute Newton's credit for calculus and I really did not mean to be smug. The point I wanted to make would be that a lot of good scientists work very hard to progress science forwards and we just hear the names of some rock-star scientists only. Saying other scientists do not do contribute as much (or even at all) is incorrect in my opinion.
