Teenager Evariste Galois did a lousy job of explaining how his math worked, none of the experts could make sense of it. He'd been dead a decade before Liouville said hey, this shit is alright. It turned out to be sorta useful a century later. A couple of the experts are still remembered, not for much.

If he hadn't gotten himself killed at twenty, he might have learned how to explain it.

Doesn't the legend have it that he scribbled a lot of his ideas down hastily the day he though he was going to die?
