   Don't think anybody can make a really solid "historical

    Hmmm ... as for 'claims' ... how much, in what forms,

   of this stuff goes back to Turing - indeed probably
   back to Babbage/Lovelace. You can re-state the ideas,

And in fact similar conditions evoke similar responses.
I learnt most of my programming from doing it: later on you find some academic has worked it out too, and given it a name and claimed it...
