Sure, but...that doesn't mean Carl Lewis isn't a good runner, right? And when someone breaks ground like that, you take note and put it in the books. We don't just delete the iteration. The evolution is significant. Citizen Kane was the first movie where the camera moved *through* an object (e.g., a closed window). Can you imagine? Or, e.g., like Hitchcock with his Zolly shot (pulling the dolly while zooming in, or vice versa)--everyone does it now. It's part of the language of cinema. If someone comes along and adds to that term with another twist (e.g., the Matrix's bullet time), does that take away from the brilliance of coming up with the original idea? Nah. We build upon each other's ideas. And some, we never duplicate because the context just isn't there.

I think part of the issue is precisely because the innovations *have* become part of the cinematic toolbox, because people who view CK without knowing its historical context don't see anything extraordinary.
