Yes, that's my point.

Take any other award, list people who got it and had "incorrect beliefs", add an article about it and preamble it with "it is unclear whether it is an effect of the award". What purpose does it serve? Do you think there should be articles for all of those "diseases"?

Nebula award disease

Crossword Book award disease

Turing award disease

Pulitzer award disease

Fields medalist disease

et cetera?
