I don't see how it's inflammatory. I don't see how it's unsubstantiated (except for the "trying to cash in on the name recognition", as if the Swedish central bank needed Nobel's name for PR).

Unsubstantial? Yeah, it's definitely that. Who cares what the technical name of the prize is? It is commonly referred to as the Nobel Prize in Economics.

This is like the person who keeps going on about "There is no country named America". Maybe not, but there's one called that. We're probably going to keep calling it that, since it's more convenient than the official name, and everyone knows which country we're talking about.

But that person (or those people) claim that there are people in the Americas who take offense to only one country being called "America". scottlocklin, on the other hand... why does he keep beating this particular horse?
