Not arguing with that, but clearly people seem to believe you and think he discovered microbes, which he didn't. The truth is more impressive anyways, no?

I edited it to add a correction. I shouldn't fib for the sake of making a more entertaining link to the posting, maybe.

Maybe strikethrough the first part where you credit semmelweis with the discovery. And no, a convenient lie is never better than a complicated truth. It may seem harmless to you but you've just created misinformation and disseminated it to the public.
