Arguably awarding early is more in line with the intention expressed in Nobel's will: "to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind". It seems to have drifted into "who did something decades ago that we're now confident enough in the global significance of to award a prize". I suspect that if the work the prize recognized reslly had to have been carried out in the preceding year the recipients would be rather different. |
