No.  Furthermore, I can't imagine how anyone can seriously claim that it was.
That title more reasonably belongs to any number of other machines.  For
example (this citing is surely controvertible, too), how about the 709 and
its offspring?  They (especially the 7094) have influenced later architectures
considerably more than the 1401, unless you consider only RCA.
