The article is an immature and childish distraction from a potentially interesting discussion (where do good ideas come from).

There is no such thing as The father of anything. That's just one of the many incarnations of the insipid fantasy society has that "Daddy" will solve all your problems.

Turing is absolutely a father of computer science, and his contributions are interesting.

This can be said for any scientist, historically speaking. Even Einstein stood on the shoulders of giants.

Giving this article oxygen is a colossal waste of time. Just because someone somewhere said some stupid thing isn't a reason to write a 10,000 word essay on it with endless citations.

Kinda like what we are doing now..
