> I don't know about others but Von Neumann architecture is much more described by Church and Turings work than derived from it, like steam engines are described by thermodynamics. Neither invention was actually dependent on the theory.
Huh? Turing's paper on the halting problem and Universal Turing Machines was released in 1936. Von Neumann, Eckert, and Mauchly's memo was not released until Jan 1944. There is no way that Von Neumann's architecture is described by Turing's work, given the 8 year difference between them!

I'm puzzled by how you can make such a strong claim about the nature of innovation without precisely drilling down into the evidence backing your theory.
