To pick the top names, Ive tended towards those who have the greatest number of inventions to their creditassuming fecundity to be a better gauge of geniusrather than selecting only those inventors who came up with the most significant devices (although there is a degree of overlap between them).
now, while I do not know ur sources nor am I refuting their idea, to claim that coming up with the greatest number of inventions rather than the most significant coins one up for the greatest inventor is a mockery of all I rate sane.
jolly well, while we are at it, lets name chinas emperors as the best rulers ever as after-all they did rule the biggest populations in the world.
