A bit like Einstein, then: his claim to have founded quantum theory 
(about which he was a skeptic, and in fact wrong as fas as we know) 
being judged by the success of his unified field theory? No, something a 
bit amiss there. I like the first part, though: light as quanta was a 
big deal and worth his Nobel; and then he couldn't take the ultimate 
consequences for physics.
