Hey, Snapcase, another of the main reasons Scheele isn;t more famous was that Berzelius, the most influential swedish chemist at the time, was kind of a bastard... e didn't want anyone else to share the spotlight, so when Scheele discovered tungsten and the science academy wanted to name it scheelium, Berzelius stopped it because 'Scheelium is well known as it is, and doesn't need more glory'.
