" The bad theoretical physicist, in anticipation, names his own equations and effects, and even his entire theories, after himself right away. "
I never heard of anyone doing this, is there an example of this?
The real trick is to not name some important discovery, which then leads others to name it after you. Or, to use a hopelessly unwieldy terminology for the discovery with hopefully the same outcome. If the discoverer comes up with a good name for their discovery then this significantly reduces any chance that the effect will be named after them.
