Yup. I've heard endless arguments that Edison didn't really invent the light 
bulb, the Wrights did not invent the airplane, Musk did not invent reusable 
rockets, etc.

An idea ain't worth spit if it is not implemented.

The value in D's CTFE is after we demonstrated it, it suddenly became a "must
