Isn't there a difference between getting attention and being a great / legendary / [insert other hyperbole]? There are some amazing thinkers in any field, but they often stay within their field of study. Hardly any manage to get out, and I think the author of the article is more interested in which authors manage to do so. You can easily get attention if you scream loud enough and annoy enough people - look at how many people know the Westboro Baptist Church. That doesn't make them legendary, I think.
