Good DBAs in History: How about George Washington Carver.Thousands of experiments, many resulting in useful ( or delicious) products. He even made a diamond out of a peanut. My choice anyways.

Excellent choice. I grew up near Neosho Mo. where the George Washington Carver Institute is located. I took so many tours of the place that around age 10 I was correcting the tour guides. He was a very amazing man. You're right, he would have made a terrific DBA, or probably anything else he set his mind to.
