Myopic Logic →
Jean-Louis Gassée:
Drugged or sober, the proud iPaq owner falls into the following point: The basic ingredients are the same. ...
By this myopic logic, Einstein didn’t invent the theory of relativity, Henri Poincaré had similar ideas before him, as did Hendrik Lorentz earlier still. And, come to think of it, Maxwell’s equations contain all of the basic ingredients of relativity; Einstein “merely” found a way to combine them with another set of parts, Newtonian mechanics.
