Let me give an analogy,

I met professor gabor, a professor at IC and Nobel laureate.
He invented holography as a mind game 50 years before the laser using pin holes in gold foil to do basic experiments with coherent light. Then came the laser and holography went from impossible to possible.
True - if we knew what developments were coming we would have developed them.

My father was the first person to develop a functioning laser in Australia - so probably in the southern hemisphere. But for his weakness for beer he could have done so much more.
