Well, yes. I do remember when someone put a copy of an article on the pin board of the library of the local high energy physics lab titled "String Theory Draws Theorists Together" and someone added "String-" in front of the word "Theorists" with a red marker sometime in the early 90ies. So it wasn't without distractors then, too.
