That’s ridiculous. The guy who puts the hot dogs on the rollers has essentially zero influence on the taste.
It’s more like a famous chef dying and lots of people praising his food, and you’re here saying all credit should go to the farmers and the chef just assembled the stuff.
Except it is not? They are not praising his acting skills. They are praising words and values of fictional character he played.
That is like praising chef for restaurant decor.
Better comparison there is a line cook dying and praising how they executed some of the head chef’s recipes
