Sometimes science/engineering turns out like that
e.g. I think Claude Shannon is like that -- his impact continues to rise, and he's viewed as more important after he died
He apparently never won a Turing Award or Nobel Prize, probably because there was and is no Nobel in computer science

So I guess I mean "drawing attention to something that would have not otherwise had attention", and based on the consensus of people working in the field
