I think Debunk is a bit of an overstatment. That is like saying James Watt should get no credit for the steam engine because they had spinning toys powered by steam in ancient egypt. What amazes me is that along with the electrical stuff Tesla also did fluid dynamics: See Tesla valve, Tesla turbine.

Well, electricity moves similarly to a fluid (not really but the simplified version allows one to reason about both the same way).

It hit me in school that these are very similar and once you understand one you can apply many of the learnings, but especially the high level logic on the other.
