> But, it's not real. "owever, Guinness had a policy of not publishing company data, and allowed Gosset to publish his observations on the strict understanding that he did so anonymously." Except that this part is true. Obviously, he is well-known in academic circles, but Guinness did have a policy against its employees to publish their research using a pseudonym[1]. [1] Specifically, they can publish with three conditions: 1) To not mention Guinness or its competitors, 2) To not mention anything about beer (so topics specifically about beer is forbidden), and 3) To not publish using their surname (which in practical effect is to publish using a pseudonym).
