This about.com website discredits the claim that the Schaivo Doctor was nominated at all but also makes the case that its not ok for anyone to claim they were nominated

Thanks for the clarifying information, TQuick. The secrecy part now makes sense of why there's the notion that there is not a normal nomination process, it's not something that gets any press like other nomination procedures. It also clears up why that strange 'quoted' claim to it is how it's presented on Dr Schaeffer's ID website. If it's ethically verboten to reveal it, then deniability is important. Oh, well, in 40ish years I guess we'll know the truth ( nominations are made public after 50). Oh, and The PrankoTimes says it's rumored that I've been nominated for a Nobel, again...sigh

ah, I can sleep now, cause and effect are back at work.
