So, I just checked his wikipedia page, and was shocked to find out that Cecil Adams is not a real individual person. He's a pseudonym for a rotating collection of ghostwriters, like Franklin W Dixon.
- stingraycharles 8y agoI’ve looked at his Wikipedia page, but can’t find where it says it is a collection of writers. All I see is that it is a pseudonym.
- okket 8y agoIt is also not confirmed that it is a sole author... "The true identity of Adams, whether a single individual or a group of authors, has remained unknown." Keeping an authorship pseudonymous successfully for 40+ years is rather unusual. I'd argue saying it is a sole author is at least as speculative as saying it is a group.
- stingraycharles 8y agoAgreed, both are theories but should not be presented as facts.
- greggarious 8y agoI think it's rather obvious... Cecil Adams is Satoshi Nakamoto.
- bookofjoe 8y agoBoth are John Galt.
