>Is da Vinci credited as the first Helicopter pilot because he scribbled down a machine with a rotor that he thought maybe could fly?
babbages work was very much grounded in reality and had he the money to do it it probably would have worked. people have since later made replicas of his simpler difference engine design for example (which was also never made because he moved onto the analytical engine)
now that said, the analytical engine is a big step up, so it'd take a lot of knowledge to even know if it was feasible to make, but at the absolute least it's far more than "bro what if we made some gears do the math for us using steam lol"
