Well, I don't really know that, and I've already been burned by
two John McCarthys, one in linguistics, one in CS.  But the name
"Adele Goldberg" is far less common, and if we add OOP as well,
it seems kinda unlikely that there is another and distinct
Adele Goldberg.

The sf author Alfred Bester once said of one of his early stories.
"I have absolutely no memory of writing this story.  However, the
name at the top is mine and the Social Security number mentioned in
the first paragraph is also mine.  Either could be a coincidence,
but not both."
