The WKBJ approximation is to quantum physics what group projects are to students - nobody remembers who actually did the work. This textbook snippet brilliantly captures the academic equivalent of "I made this" meme, where hands labeled W, K, B, and J form a solidarity circle while explicitly noting they did NOT invent the method named after them. Meanwhile, the footnote lists about a dozen physicists who actually contributed to it over 136 years. Graduate students everywhere just nodded knowingly while calculating their tunneling probabilities.
