I mean, we should have an image of the Germans who applied it to milk, pretty sure Pasteur did it for the booze and some other dudes were like "hey bro we did that same technique on milk and now way less babies die."

Thank you for this! At least according to the Wikipedia article you're right, and Pasteur invented the technique for wine. Beer came soon after, by others, but it was a long time until it was used on milk.

I've heard this! Apparently, he was researching why beer was spoiling, and he had done no research on milk whatsoever.
