Oh plz... just as Obama was given the Nobel peace prize before becoming President (and killing a lot of people by bombing them once he was President.)

Did we just award the Pulitzer to an undergrad? OK- but let's not pretend that the Pulitzer matters.

I think your point is that awards are overrated.

Awards could be made to matter, I suppose, but if they are simply a matter of culture war signaling I'm not inclined to take them very seriously.

I'm sure Pulitzer winners will try to cope with this.

No, the Pulitzer prize was awarded to a team that included a rising masters student.
