Dang, why drop the identifier “Gore-Tex?” Who cares about some guy they can’t identify except through their work?

I had the same question. I saw this headline this morning and thought, "oh wow the creator of Gortex died".

The headline as it is means nothing if you don't know that random trivia. The fact that he invented Gortex was pretty critical to this headline.
