- drpossum 2y agoNone of these arguments support giving a prize for this in this field for this reason. Feynman was also critical of the idea of the prize in general

- elicash 2y agoThey were responding to a specific claim someone made about Feynman's views. It's a good contribution to these comments and highly relevant.
