He invented the modern research lab, which is kind of a big deal. Regardless of how many or few of the creative breakthroughs were his personally, he pushed a lot of technology forward, he was sort of the ultimate maker and deserves a great deal of credit.
So he should be credited for his achievements and not falsely accredited for others' achivements.
My respect for him was one of an inventor. The problem is everything I had respected him for inventing - he hadn't even invented!
It's like being told Superman isn't actually Superman, he's Batman. Sure, he's still a superhero and might do awesome things. But I like Superman, I'm not a big fan of Batman. *
*this is a terrible analogy, but I hope you understand what I'm trying to convey.
