Arbitrary punishing rules of the Nobel prize is part of the fun of science. As far as I can tell either wise they'd have dropped all these insane rules ages ago.

Would be interesting if the rule were dropped given that in some fields like particle physics a paper may have dozens of authors…

The Higgs discovery was by ATLAS and CMS experiments (thousands of people) but the Nobel prize went to the theorists.

Particle physics would have to discover something we didn't already know for that to be an issue.
