I don't think pedantry about the name is a useful contribution to the conversation.

While it's true that Economic Sciences prize is not a "real" Nobel prize, it is commonly referred to as a Nobel prize. Interestingly, the Nobel Foundation also lists "Economic Sciences" on their website listing Nobel prizes even though they do not award or fund it: https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/

There is no conversation here. I was merely taking the opportunity to point out that there is a common misconception regarding the "Nobel prize" and the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. Two distinct prizes, one commonly mislabeled. Repeating the misnomer just normalizes the error.

Um, yes, there is a conversation here. It's the comments on this thread. And, until you hijacked it, the name of the prize was not what we were talking about.

[Lutzb]

Yes, I made it a topic as the term was used incorrectly. So I was pointing this out, as not to further this misconception. Is there any additional discussion on this topic needed?

[AnimalMuppet]

Nope. Even the amount that was here wasn't needed.

What??? He was literally pointing out a misleading statement and correcting it.
