portmanteau

Is "satisficing" a portmanteau? When I first heard it, I figured it would be a portmanteau between "satisfy" and "sacrifice". I was going to edit this information it, but after reading the article, I'm not sure that it is correct. Does anyone know? Phasmatisnox 00:00, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it is a portmanteau, but I assumed it was between "satisfy" and "suffice." I have no evidence of this.

HAL

I don't get the part about HAL. I don't see how HAL's behavior supports the idea that satisficing is a primarily human behavior. If anything, it does the opposite -Domokato (talk) 21:19, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Novus Ordo??

I had a quick skim through Novus Ordo Mass and I don't quite get the connection. Any thoughts? --Slashme (talk) 05:54, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article is well written and informative, but it needs inline citations. LK (talk) 19:43, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Citations Again

I agree that the attribution to Simon seems inadequately supported. The earliest use of the term that i'm aware of is by Roy Radner in 1975: "Satisficing," Journal of Mathematical Economics, Vol. 2, 1975, pp. 253-62.
