Well taken - nevertheless, the discovery made by Roentgen is
universally accepted as one of the initial, pioneering steps in the
discovery of radioactivity.

Is it? I should think that it helped towards an understanding of
electromagnetic radiation and the similarity of all frequencies of
radiation, but I don't know that it was connected in any clear way to
radioactive decay. They are two completely different processes.

Do you have documentable credibility in this area, or is this yet
another area of speculation, based upon your nuclear powered flight
simulator?

Mxsmanic is essentially correct.

Irrelevant to the question.

You're making a logical mistake known as the "appeal to authority."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_authority

On one hand, people take on blind faith the word of a person
who holds credentials. Just because a person has a lot of
credentials doesn't mean they can't be wrong.

On the other hand is the person with no credentials. The fact
that they have no credentials doesn't mean they can't be right.
