Mendel’s Laws seem counterfactual by about ˜30 years, based on partial re-discovery taking that much time. His experiments are technically something which someone could have done basically any time in last few thousand years, having basic maths
I agree, but, he seems to have rather low counterfactual impact. His discovery was definitely very counterfactual, but it seems like his work was only recognized around the time it would’ve been rediscovered.

I buy this argument.
