Not clear why you didn't mention 'MULTICS' in the subject line of your post.
I never heard about MULTICS before, so I was (perhaps wrongly) assuming that
saying "the father of UNIX"--as in the headline of the cited blog item--would
be OK.
You took the words right out of my mouth. I was going to say "most
people probably haven't heard of multics, so it would be a sh1t
headline."
My case proven, I think.
