I can't agree. As well as the heavy duty troublemakers history uses influential artists and scientists as mileposts: Leonardo, Galileo, Shakespeare, my mate Tim Dwyer, Newton, Dickens and so on.
So conceivably the twentieth century will also be remembered for its very rich crop of artists and scientists: Picasso, Gershwin, Einstein, Watson and Crick et al.
