Editorial license has its drawbacks, no less than the intentional spreading of propaganda, to distort history, and inflate either the personal or the professional for self aggrandizing objectives. Einstein is not one who supposedly did that, but there are many others who have used his persona to perform it for him. Personal invention is a personal affair, regardless of who witnesses it. That others would highjack the efforts of others to elevate their own importance is not only deceitful, but ignorant. The failure to invent is not the crime; the crime is to adopt the inventions of others and call them one's own. That has long been the standard of quality vs rubbish in humankind, but of late, that lesson is something more than fuzzy, and people are unable to distinguish the real from the unreal, the true from the untrue, the value from that which isn't. That is a flaw of mankind that all great inventors are subject to, and most don't even care because they are committed to their inventions. But the rest of the world should care because it is what forms the legitimacy of life, as well as the ability to distinguish between what is real and what isn't, what is true and what isn't, what is valuable and what isn't.
