I would like to see how they calculated their results to have Napoleon come in at number 2. I guess it's plausible, seeing as what he accomplished (or didn't accomplish) made number 7 and number 18 possible. But one could also make the case that Alexander the Great begat Julius Caesar who begat Napoleon.
It's interesting the sciences are so "underrepresented," with only Darwin and Einstein on the list. Leonardo DaVinci, anyone? Copernicus? And it's nice (for those of us living here in the Americas) for Columbus on the list, but there are other explorers out there that one could say had a greater impact on navigation and exploration.
Can you tell I have some issues with this list?
