I think these kinds of list should always include Donald E. Knuth.

Maybe we should make a list on the wiki? eg. I'm tempted to add Aumann, but as pointed out, 'There are many more examples' and XiXiDu made his point with the short list.

I made the list at http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Irrationalists

More suggestions welcome. I think I'm going to make a Discussion article on this to get a little more visibility.
