Abstract
The paper tries to find out the working mechanism of birth of one of the nowadays most used scientometric indicators, the Hirsch-index. The effort spent deals with the human feeling called frustration. It is shown how the frustration of a physicist became the basis of an invention of an indicator considered worldwide the best for evaluating the scientific performance of individual researchers.
