14. This dataset assigns significance to historical figures based on how much they are covered in reference works. It has over 10x as many “Science” entries after 1500 as before; the data set starts in 800 BC. I don’t endorse the book that this data set is from, as I think it draws many unwarranted conclusions from the data; here I am simply supporting my claim that most reference works will disproportionately cover years after 1500.
