When I read the title, I thought “Surely this Larry cannot be more cited than the famous F. D. C. Willard”. But then I read the article and it turns out that’s very specifically the record Larry broke.

I 'member hearing that this “practice” started when a lone researcher tried to publish an articule but was rejected 'cause it was policy that all submissions needed a co-author… and it went trough, he was able to publish this and others really good articules.

So, i dont see anything bad here, mr whiskers can be remembered by future generations with no harm done.
