Tommy Flowers built colossus Turing made rules for programming it and yet flowers is basically unknown and Turing is known for flowers work and being discriminated against.
Flowers literally threw his chosen career away for the benefit of society and we still don't recognize him in a meaningful way.
Hell, look at how many people died or were crippled for life fighting fascism, and we honor their supreme sacrifice ... by bringing back fucking fascism.
