Elmat,

We really don't know whose invisible shoulders anyone stands on.

Ideas, discoveries, stories, songs - they have been flitting around the world back and forth through centuries, faster than goods or people.

Ideas do not develop in vacuum. They mutate and evolve by bouncing around from mind to mind, reacting with the cauldron of memories in each mind.

>That Anglo was an honest Anglo.

We know which shoulders he meant.>

Yes ... an element of false modesty there too. He didn't want to give any credit to those he saw as competitors, like Leibniz and Hooke. In these instances it was more a case of standing on the faces of giants.
