"You don't the Nobel Prize lucky bags"? I feel compelled to point out that I am only fluent in English.
Well, I think his grasp of myth is not as good as you think. Narcissus was not a logical guy. He ignored a hot nymph who was in love with him, so he could stare at his own reflection until he died. Is there logic in that? I think not. I think the name was used to connote hubris among analytical thinkers. It's insulting and inaccurate.
