A BBC survey of the 100 greatest Brits contains a fair selection of scientists including the Web's inventor, Tim Berners Lee. This ZDNet story concentrates on those while avoiding comment on the more spectacularly stupid choices. (The full list, printed in the Guardian, could hardly be considered a recommendation for what passes for an education system in the UK. Indeed, the Guardian's own list of Ten Who Missed Out doesn't include Benjamin Disraeli, David Hockney, Dr Johnson, John Maynard Keynes, Lewis Carroll, John Milton, John Stuart Mill, Henry Moore, William Morris, Cecil Rhodes, William Henry Fox Talbot, Sir Christopher Wren and many more.)
