So I'm curious, why Davies' stuff? Other than the name of packet switching
(not to belittle the importance of that, sometimes a good name is worth a
great deal indeed), what major technical influence did his work have?

(This is not snark, but a genuine question - I'm pretty familiar with the
literature, but I don't know of any - or, at least, I've never seen anything
which examines this particular point, and provides an answer.)

I know we have a number of early ARPANet people here - perhaps one of them
has some insight here?
