As already noted, it's not about raw accomplishment. Of course people will achieve great things in medicine, politics, physics, etc, and people will continue to drive around and around in circles on a track and someone will call them "great" until such time as they pass into irrelavance, anyway.
If I could go back to the admittedly poorly defined begining of the thread and apply the definition mentioned in post #32 I would.
