I'm one of them. ;)
Anybody can scout from the top of the hill.
Tom's talent lays in the ability to scout from the bottom of a valley. He
was able to break a trail that many others have since followed. Things
that seem as obvious as "e=mc^2" today weren't obvious back when he
started.
Through logical reasoning and deduction he was able to infer a number of
things that got the DRCS community onto that high hill so that everyone
else can easily plan a route that avoids a series of hazards.
Some of the things he inferred ended up being mistakes. What's wrong is
generally agreed upon by all, though the solutions called for differ.
