Care to elaborate? Specifically, is there any doubt about Watson's contribution to the discovery of the double helix structure?
My fellow biology grad students when I was in grad school starting in 2005 pretty universally regarded Watson as a waste of oxygen.
On forgotten people what about Raymond Gosling (Franklin's PhD student) who took the famous photo:

Watson was shown Gosling's photo by Gosling new supervisor after transferring from under Franklin's supervision.
Referencing your fellow students' ideology driven groupthink doesn't qualify as such.
Crick also wrote some scathing letters to Watson about how he was being disingenuous in this particular book [0].
In his own book, Watson admitted he had seen her work before publishing his result.
