No, a newly named award shouldn't really have any existing clout associated with it, and can make it's own reputation. The Turing award is not treated like a nobel prize by pretty much anyone, though it is respected.
Economics decided that kind of thing, say a "Smith award" wouldn't get them enough clout, so better to abuse a brand name for it's value. How classic.
- VHRanger 3y agoIm sorry but to a normal person the Fields medal or Turing award is treated the exact same as the Nobel prize in whatever discipline.
- mrguyorama 3y agoAre you sure? How many normal people even know the Fields medal or Turing award even exists?
