Mate, Minkowski called Einstein (his math student at the Polytechnic) a "lazy dog". But Minkowski didn't come up with SR or GR did he? Yet EVERYONE, including all the math and physics brainiacs around the world, had all the information they needed right in front of them, and with the exception of Ricci and Hilbert (GR only), nobody was even remotely close to coming up with either theory.
