36. I made no "assummption"
Tue Jan 20, 2026, 12:28 AM

I corrected your factually false assumption based on my knowledge of the actual words of the Nobel committee.

“Regardless of what may happen to the medal, the diploma, or the prize money, it is and remains the original laureate who is recorded in history as the recipient of the prize,” the committee said. “Even if the medal or diploma later comes into someone else’s possession, this does not alter who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.”

You made a false statement, preceded by the phrase "I bet," which constitutes as assumption or a guess. It's also an astoundingly false claim given the widespread news coverage of the Nobel committee's remarks.
