    He sure was brilliant. And what was done to him is from today’s standpoint barbaric, but the notion that he alone was responsible for breaking the codes is a terrible falsehood that needs to die.

    I think we can celebrate his brilliancy without discrediting everyone else that worked on the project. There’s just no need to add lies such as “single handedly”.
