The "evidence" is that it was not in his will. Where do you think we should draw the line on what could be called a Nobel price? It is not like Alfred Nobel did

The "evidence" is that it was not in his will. Where do you think we should draw the line on what could be called a Nobel price? It is not like Alfred Nobel did not understand economics, he just (highly probably) did not want such a price (or he would have created it).
If someone created a price for pedophile arts, brain studies of humans of lesser value, or other questionable "sciences" in the memory of Alfred Nobel, do you think we should call it a Nobel price? Do we have evidence that Nobel would disagree with such a price?
I would say we have no evidence, but it is highly unlikely that Alfred Nobel would like that. I think the question that should be asked is: do we have any evidence (or even any sign at all) that Alfred Nobel wanted a Nobel price in economics???
