I posted a lot in this thread before listening to the show where Tom introduced the concept. I hereby retract most of it. I can't be bothered to go back and look, but offhand I can say that Robert Pollard has definitely earned whatever scruff he wants.

William Empson wrote a seminal lit-crit book titled Seven Types of Ambiguity. I had a copy of it at one time but never got all the way through it, so I don't know whether "What the hell is that under your chin?" was one of the seven types.

To be honest (and this is super-embarrassing):
I thought he did not win a Nobel, so I'll leave up my stupidity for all to admire.
He may have won the Nobel but he did not earn his beard, but this guy did.(Even though he has no beard.)

He earned a few white hairs at least, by saying stocks were at a permanent plateau just before the 1929 crash, I'll give him that.

Anyway, I beg to differ about Krugthulu:
