It’s a misplacement of priorities and misjudgment of character by ACM that they awarded the Turing prize to LeCun, yet haven’t bestowed it on Spaf.

Perhaps it could be argued that his contributions don’t have the depth and rigor as LeCun’s research, but they’re broader, more sustained, and with patient good humor.
