So we agree; you aren't claiming the award was accepted in a dishonest manner, and I never claimed anything about honesty being an issue. I simply found the idea of Hinton rejecting the award for the "honour of the Nobel [choice of category]" to be a silly idea.
Your indignation here seems a bit unwarranted. You definitely did bring the arguments about recognition and money into play and then basically gaslit someone for responding to them. You could have simply said that you misspoke.
