Why did many of Allais's major contributions only become widely known when independently re-discovered?
They were lost in a fire
Allais was reluctant to write or translate his work into English
They were stolen
Allais refused to publish his work
Answer
The primary reason behind the delayed recognition of Allais's significant contributions was his reluctance to publish or translate his research into English. As a result, many of his groundbreaking ideas and findings remained confined within the French academic community and were not widely disseminated or accessible to a broader international audience.
