It appears one of the discoverers feared he wouldn't be properly credited, and rushed the publication. See https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/15b27wn/the_st...

Perhaps his fears were founded. A few hours later in fact his name was suppressed in a second version of the paper.

A theory I read was that because at most 3 people can share a Nobel prize, one rushed it out naming just two others. Subsequent versions have named about 8.
