People go out of their way to avoid giving credit to the school, which ultimately made the decision here.
Maybe we shouldn't give any credit to Elon Musk for SpaceX or Tesla if he didn't personally invent all of the relevant technology? Maybe no credit should go to Lincoln for saving the union because Grant and other generals did the actual fighting? Not perfect analogies, obviously, but it is so weird how people never want to give Holmoe credit for things.
