They treated everyone who participated on the early efforts as central to the final result. Every research project was needed and was integrated into the whole, thus no one part could be said to have been the most important. History shouldn't look on this as who was most important, or who was the creator of the Internet, but should rather recognize the masterful management that ARPA used to orchestrate the entire endeavor. The current DARPA could not do so now. That being said, congratulations to Vint & Bob for their richly deserved 2004 ACM Turing Award for their watershed work on tcp/ip.
