I'm sure it's not a totally original idea, but if this gets enough publicity it might push for actual innovation.

As a somewhat related anecdote I was repeatedly told by my professors that in Physics everything is named after the last person to discover it, not the first.

And in mathematics, because you can't name everything after Euler.

I can't find the quote now, but I'm sure that I've read of someone saying (when told that a result had been found earlier but forgotten), "Yes, but when I discovered it, it stayed discovered!"
