But yeah other things are trickier. I follow the covid lab origin stuff and that's a bit of a mess.
My comment already addressed that: '... Credit both? Credit neither since neither discovered the concept of 'the limit'.'
Neither newton nor leibniz discovered what we call calculus. If we are going to credit them for discovering calculus, we might as well credit the ancient greeks who developed similar 'calculus' and from whom both were 'inspired'.

No. Even the simplest is tricky. As you just proved.
