Personally I always ascribe everything to my Grandfather for a number of very good reasons: 1. He was a highly skilled surgeon of impeccable reputation, and read for pleasure in both Latin and Classical Greek. 2. He never wrote down anything except medical papers. 3. He died in 1975. 4. I

If we are going to bring up einstein , he is the "scientist" I think who everybody defers to and yet he was basically a 100% fraud and a plagiarist. His equation was publshed by the italian physicist De pretto and many others. While I was making sure I remembered my facts I found this - and

Not true; Albert Einstein [The man who knew a lot about Physics and Maths and not much else and is quoted far too often out of context], Induction is bad reasoning ; yet we all do it all of the time. So, I always expect the unexpected; and, oddly enough, it seems to happen quite a lot.
