I’ve read his book, which oddly just seemed logical to me. Also it seems he was wrong about black holes? In the end, does he deserve being compared to the greats?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Time will tell. His strength was in exciting some imaginations. I'm sure he influenced many career choices. But it has been shown that he was dead wrong about many of his claims. He was severely crippled and people cut him a lot of slack out of pity, at times almost like he was a side show freak.

Given the hand life dealt him, I'd say he did well for himself. Although the fact that he was unfaithful to his wife with prostitutes does not impress me in the least. Disgraceful behavior, but not unexpected from someone with his theological beliefs or lack thereof.

Yeah?

Lots of the “greats” were not 100% dead-on correct on everything, but they advanced their fields significantly so that the next generation could build off of their breakthroughs.

I agree with you totally.

I truly find no originality.
