A few dozen computers hooked together using a totally different protocol?

Even if that was all it was yes, that would count as it existing. But it was more tha a few dozen computers by the time the money from the initiative Gore supported was being spent to expand the network. As for a different protocol, that's not definitive, we have changed protocols since Gore's involvement, and we will again.

Scholars generally agree that a turning point for the World Wide Web began with the introduction[13] of the Mosaic web browser[14] in 1993

Funny how you left that out of your extensive quotes.


Because its irrelevant. It was a major piece of software, but if it wasn't created by the the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, some one else would have created some different piece of software. Your argument is like saying if Wordstar wasn't invented we wouldn't have PC word processor software.
