He hasn't completed anything yet, he hasn't SHOWN anything yet (except that he apparently loves to talk). That isn't Nobel Prize worthy.

The problem is that it really is none of your business why they decided to give it to him based on expectations. Let the folks in Europe do what THEY want to do with an award that THEY give. People are wasting their time griping and complaining about it. Just because you and some others think he doesn't deserve the award doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things and thank goodness for that.
I completely understand why Europeans feel the way they do about Americans...
