I disagree. Certain landmarks will seem more important than others, such as intelligence ‘tests’, like the day a machine unequivocally passes a Turing test. In hindsight, we should be able to further isolate and identify those important landmarks that led to, or directly caused, the singularity.
Furthermore, historians being historians, I am quite convinced a date WILL be included in the history books, regardless of merit.

Like the date of Google’s birthday. Maybe a lot like that—since, of those who are trying, they are probably in the lead.
