Why does the profession of the individual dictate if they can be on a note?

Specifically, how would Darwin's lack of computer skills matter in this debate at all? I'm confused.

My comment was not about having someone on a note but having a programmer/computer scientist on a note. Darwin is not related to Turing while Booles is. Ideally we should have Booles on the front of the note and Turing on the back.

Ah, that was not immediately obvious to me that both Darwin and Turing would be on the note. I could see them both being there as progressive scientists. Here in the US, we only have one person (usually a former president) on our notes, and a reminder of our religion on the back.

So, leg up with Darwin already.
