The most charitable thing i can say about your comment is; who had a fashion of calling every thing "odd" that was beyond his comprehension, and thus lived amid an absolute legion of "oddities." -- from "The Purloined Letter" by Edgar Allan Poe. To dismiss you/your comment; “Mediocrity knows nothing higher than Itself; but Talent instantly recognizes Genius.” -- from "The Valley of Fear" by Arthur Conan Doyle. To deflate your claim of Dijkstra's Algorithm being "self-evident"; Students Struggle with Concepts in Dijkstra's Algorithm -- https://dl.acm.org/doi/fullHtml/10.1145/3632620.3671096 Edsger Dijkstra contributed to; 1) Algol60 language/compiler
2) THE Operating System
3) Graph Algorithms (shortest-path etc.)
4) Concurrent Algorithms (semaphores, CSP etc.)
5) Distributed Algorithms (dining philosophers etc.)
6) Fault-Tolerant Computing (which he called "Self-Stabilizing Systems")
7) Programming Language Design (GCL etc.)
8) Structured Programming Techniques.
9) Program Correctness Methodologies based on Predicate Calculus to derive Programs (weakest-precondition etc.)
10) Essays giving insights into "How to Think and Reason Systematically" using commonsense and mathematical Tools.
