He had twice as many consonants as vowels in his name.
He played on the German national philosophers football (soccer) team, which lost to Greece when Aristotle scored on a great play engineered by Archimedes.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Much as I enjoy the philosophical roll, I'll pass on the discourse.
The impressions on his discovery before publication: He used to live in rather austere or spartan conditions, was a recluse, and something was mentally or emotionally disturbed about him. It makes me wonder how many people are shunned by society as fringe or lunatics, yet its their very 'insanity' that has the power to transform the world.

I'm a little late and I agree, a good example of this is the Islamic Quran, the translated versions are treated with less value than the original Arabic version. I think it's inevitable that some meaning will be lost during translation. It's like building the Eiffel tower with materials native to Japan.
