been more wrong, certainly none has wasted more time or led to more blind
alleys.

With emphasis on "were"; nobody is giving them honors today.

> their work has been replicated by so many others

Yes, Joe Blow the truck driver finds it remarkably easy to replicate the
work, but the funny thing is nobody else can.

And satellites are beaming evil thoughts straight into my brain, that's why
I have this aluminum foil hat on.
