Hugh,
Thanks for expressing your thoughts.
He DID something. THAT makes him great - if we use the shown definition of the word. In which case let me also add... his Doing resulted in a Creation... which would also make him worthy of rememberance. For it is a sad fact, the vast majority of people Never Do anything that amounts to much, create anything of value or importance, and certainly never add to the human knowledge pool. The vast majority add nothing to the human existence but additional beings.
In which case, Dien's PhD means he added to the human knowledge pool stuff that wasn't known before. As a result, he likewise would be a Great man, would he not?
