Best I can tell, von Neumann stole the design that bears his name from John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert. von Neumann doesn't seem to deserve as much much credit as he is given. I'm not saying he does not deserve credit for his other work.

Both you and parent are correct: Von Neumann knew how to play the game to end up with "the credits people do read".
