Yes, and most people can tell you that Albert Einstein was a great physicist, but fewer people will name Wolfgang Pauli.
This is getting a bit silly. I mean, do we really have to argue about whether Shakespeare rendered all non-Shakespearean literature worthless? It seems that N is the only person who thinks so, and the rest of us are arguing poetry and literature with a person who hasn't told us who he is, hasn't shown us a single poem of his own, and told us a few weeks ago he had never heard villanelles.
I don't know why we all (me included) get sucked into these conversations started by quasi-trolls.
