I don't think the qualifications for this skill should be taken lightly. Electricity is the very symbol of modernity, it powers almost literally EVERYTHING in our modern life. Granted, Tesla was not the only one who brought about the advent of the electric age, with Faraday arguably being more deserving of the title of "Father of the Modern Era," but electricity is just that important. Heck, even Edison could be argued to be worthy cuz he did make elecritiy affordable and avaliable to the public.

While Drake was not responsible for it, you could argue that he symbolizes the Age of Exploration, a very focal point in humanity's history, as not only did it opened up the world but colonial conquest was necessary for the Western powers to consolidate their powers and bring forth the Industrial Revolution.

Honestly, da Vinci should not have this skill. While he was a genius, he did not really do anything that really advanced humanity to a whole new era and horizon. Newton could be argued to have made the Industrial Revolution possible so he could be derserving of this skill but even he is not so obvious.
