Correct that most new tech will not have a single inventor... rather than many people working on the same problem at the same time... Unlike an event in track and field... the declaration of a winner in the race to "invent"... is mostly bogus... mis-attribution being common... Tesla ? Steam engine ? Etc. The ego of scientists not distinguishing them from our routine experience of other types of people... the focus on determining "what is" not altering their view of "what they would like to be"... in relation to their own rewards... Academic careers depend on publishing first... just as inventors used to be dependent on documented proofs of inventing first... but are now subjected to that same rule of "first to publish"... which is a standard that fosters mis-attribution, theft, and fraud... in the academy... and in the economy. Otherwise, "right back at them" about errors: "mRNA vaccines are a new sort of vaccine; the COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna were the first"... is totally wrong... about "first" ? Maybe... "first" to be allowed to be used in people ? But... what happened to all of the animals that were "first" to be used as test subjects for mRNA experiments ? And, how is that different from what is happening to all of the people who were "first" to be used as test subjects for nRNA experiments conducted on people ?
