Hofmann defended his invention.

It's not an invention, it's a discovery.
I think maybe the writer was on LSD.

I always thought a discovery was always existed and an invention was the building of some thing from different components, compounds etc.LSD was not one single ingredient but a group combined to form L.S.D.Not a single ingredient that was discovered....hence an INVENTION.
