I agree, but...
... simply being published during that period doesn't qualify you for being one of the "founders of the 'Golden Age' of Science Fiction", the proposed topic of this thread.
Many writers got their start during the Golden Age, but didn't write any really great works during the period, despite later maturing into one of the major authors of SF (whether Science Fiction or the more broadly defined Speculative Fiction). John Brunner, mentioned earlier, would, in my mind, be one such example.
