Having a bunch of job offers renews my suspicion that my current career will not result in bankruptcy.

Oram?
But yes, I hear what you're saying. Cage gets attributed to it due to posting it at Merce Cunningham's dance studio, so I understand...
The real author should be attributed! They are genius.

Mmm...how many people have heard of Daphne Oram? How many have heard of ADA LOVELACE?
During my entire undergraduate mus tech. degree we were introduced to the work of a total of THREE electronic/electroacoustic music composers (and note that the preface to each introduction began with a mention of their sex/sexual orientation – i.e. a&b are lesbians, c is now a woman). Very gay, indeed.
In any event, the real author of the 10 Rules was Sister Corita Kent and her art students at the time (did you check the link I posted?). I don't know about "genius", inspired, yes. 
...Cage is still most excellent.

Gorgeous.
(We also looked at Clara Rockmore... performer, not a composer).

That'st rue, inspired is a better term. I've heard of Lovelace too, but am not familiar with her music.
It's like Nadia Boulenger (or however it's spelled), massive impact on 20th century music, but hardly talked about in favour of Bartok et al.

Haha She wasn't a composer (as far as I'm aware): http://www.sdsc.edu/ScienceWomen/lovelace.html
I threw her name in for good measure.
I've never heard of Boulenger.

The music of science? Heh, clearly, I'd heard the name but not the context. Silly me! 
Unfortunately, I've not heard much of Boulanger's music. But, amongst others, she taught John Cage.

..something like that. Because of the work/footnotes she did on Charles Babbage's Analytical Engines.
In good form, the US Department of Defence named a computer language after her – Ada.
