Only among ideologues, such as radical feminists.

The accuse Watson and Crick of " stealing " the elucidation of DNA from Rosalind Franklin. Even though Franklin's work was of inestimable value she was not that close to elucidating the structure of DNA. History has shown, especially with Linus Pauling's success with models, that model building, not X-ray diffraction, was the way to go.

Read Gunther Stent for the truth of the matter supposedly controversial.
