People make contributions to society every day, a butterfly flapping its wings and all that, trying to gauge the importance of an individual contribution to the future of our culture is a fools errand. All contributions are equally important. Even mistakes, which cause us to reevaluate things.

Ummm, I am pretty sure all contributions are not equally important. In the realm of books for example, something like 90-95% of everything that has ever been published has gone out of print. To claim a pulp novel that didn't even sell out its first modest printing is as important as a novel that has been read and studied for 200 years is yet another example of your sophistry.
