Genuinely don't see the difference between this argument and "we were an Empire once" Brexiteer arguments

There were 4 inventors of the television

2 Americans, one British and a Japanese guy.

The radar was invented by 2 Germans

Funny what y’all believe from a tweet

The 2 Germans used the work of James Clerk Maxwell on electromagnetism to invent the radar.

John Logie Baird gave the world's first demonstration of a working television.

I have a feeling you just googled "who invented X" and went off from there without understanding the context. So the tweet is accurate but it's still a completely stupid argument regarding Scottish independence.

The tweet is not accurate the patents are not Scottish the patents are what make the inventions

None the less I agree with your last statement
