Irony is Hard Sometimes
And I'm sorry you missed the key phrase: "despite himself." Gates had no idea what he was doing, any more than Einstein knew that Hiroshima would be the results of his efforts. But E=MC2 is a foundational moment in modern nuclear warfare, despite its creator's ignorance of the future impact of his discovery. Similarly, on a much smaller scale, Gates helped create the Web, even if he had no idea that it was coming.
