H.A. Simon was a Nobel laureate and Amos Tversky would have been if 
he were alive.  The same applies to Fisher Black. It is, of course 
the contributions that count and not the designation.  It would take 
a very brave, and foolish, person to argue for example that Frank 
Ramsey and John von Neumann have no place in any Pantheon or Hall of 
Fame in economics.  A mere dozen of their printed pages would have 
done the trick.
