To me it seems, Stephan Wolfram talking about his company with nary a &quot;Wolfram&quot; would approach Knights of Nee don&#x27;t say it absurdity. His name is on the door and the box.<p>Perhaps there is some vanity behind ̶i̶t̶  that. If so,  ̶i̶t̶  the vanity is in the tradition of Ford, Bell, those HP fellows, Cray the supercomputer, and a long line of entrepreneurs. Yet, if the naming is vanity, tis a wan one by Silicon Valley benchmarks, I am thinking of Sherman Fairchild who did not bring the valley to the silicon but instead brought silicon to the valley...and put his cameras in his planes up among the clouds.<p>For me, putting one&#x27;s name on the door is not just vanity. Doing so also entails taking the-Truman-buck-stops-with-me responsibility. When <i>Wolfram Mathematica</i> produces an erroneous numerical result, I don&#x27;t search in vane for Bob Pentium and Lawrence K. Intel, I am afforded the convenience of curseing the man Wolfram directly by the intertweetsbook.<p>Irregardless of vanity or responsibility motivations, seems to me that people much prefer writing of their contemporaneous experience than writing of the historical Ramanujan. Curiously evidenced here, is writers love more writing of Wolfram not writing of Ramanujan. Who can blame clever Stephan for combining the two.
