true...it might be a better way of putting it to say that some people merely REdiscover something. Some, but not all, history books at least make the effort to set the record straight. The wright brothers didn't invent the first plane, ford definitely did not invent the first car (though he did have a hand in the first mass production line), and the use of electricity is about 4,000 years old...nobody in the last couple centuries actually "discovered" it.
