Wrong, wrong, wrong. The Wright brothers drew on, among other things, the work of Lawrence Hargrave, in particular papers he presented to the Royal Society on the shapes of wings. Priests said the world was flat and the earth was the centre of the universe and scientists proved them wrong, and your attempt at hyperbole is just as wrong.
