Non sequitor here but both of these things happened during pablo picassos lifetime
As a great name in the artworld i was always surprised that lived in the modern era and not a previous one like many other “everyone knows these names” artists
In science, especially math, all the famous scientists lived long ago. Newton, Euler, etc.
In computer science only the very pioneers are dead already. A lot of groundbreaking work was done by people who are still alive, or even still in working age.
Why shouldn’t it count?
Because it wasn’t that long ago.
But it’s still considered a major historic event. The Berlin wall falling was even more recent and definitely historic.

It’s so weird!
Its not impossible that woodstock contributed to the wall coming down
Was a huge cultural event that wildly exceeded expectations and became a phenomenon
Then the wall came down about 4 years later
Edit: i have been fact checked and found wanting. 73 is not 83
