"I’ve written posts explaining why the terms “father of” and “the greatest” should be firmly avoided when writing about the history of science.

"For one shilling a head, spectators were ushered into a dimly lit back room to see the Euphonia, a machine that boasted the ability to replicate human speech. (...)
Sideshow automaton’s voices were often faked by hiding a person somewhere beneath the apparatus. Viewers of the Euphonia were impressed because there was clearly no hidden chamber for such a ruse to take place."
