I don't like the "man behind" framing we often see. As if monumental projects are ever the creation of an individual. Sure individuals are critical, but we need to keep in perspective the significant teams behind achievements, and acknowledge "key contributors" as such.

The guy was the co-founder of writely. What more does he have to do to be the man behind his company. Surely, we can allow professional writing to be hyperbolic and still know what the author means, instead of taking everything literally.

I agree. It would be nice to know his exact contribution.

Example of the fundamental attribution error. After first learning about it - I find that single factor attribution errors are endemic throughout society.

Humans like having relatable protagonists in their stories.
