Perceptions matter.  A name that is repeated gets remembered.  All
credits go to that name while other names fade.  Politicians know that
perception matter.

I am just educating users on how warped their perceptions could be when
they thank just a single person for what is essentially the work of many
hands.

Users of Free Software should be appreciative of and show respect to all
hands that did the grunt work.
