I strongly disagree, and that gives very little credit to the various brilliant people involved in the various stages of the history. Everything seems obvious in retrospect.

But it doesn't change the timeline very significantly, so it's a side issue.

I don't understand it well enough to call any of it obvious.

My meaning was more that it was foundational, not that the stuff that built from it was obvious (fortunately I drew my straight line backwards, not forwards)
