      likewise, if you bend words to mean what you want them to mean we don’t have much reason to even be discussing it.

        Lmao, it’s binary cause you say it’s binary.

        Bro grow up. The world is not black and white. Literally not a single award on the planet is meritocratic if you insist on dealing in absolutes. Every award is awarded by some committee and there is some room left for human judgement, which leaves room for human bias, which makes it not perfectly meritocratic.

        If you want to go an unhinged rant that no one wants to listen to them email the nobel association directly.
