This reminds me of those "2 cow" things....
Britain:
You have two cows.
Your cows are the best and you rule the world.
You invent lots of products but do not patent them. The Americans steal your ideas and patent them themselves. Some of the top brains and the lowest criminals leave to further the products or just shoot people.You now have no money and sell the cows to the Americans.
You kiss butt because you've blown it.
Also, i have seen Bairds Televsion (at least i think its one of them) at a museum not far from where i live. im glad to report that, YES it is a televsion, however it works! the modern motor car is completely different from the origional, but that does not mean the origional inventor no longer has the credit for it.
More and more people now have plasma TV in their homes. Will that mean that in 10 years time or so that you will change the inventor of television again to suit? no.. i didnt think so.
Baird invented TELEVISION. but not the CRT, however he did invent its precursor!
