    There's a bit of a joke here. Obviously the first guy to call himself "Dread Pirate Roberts" couldn't have chosen that name because he wasn't the first, right? But it's perfectly plausible that he chose the name because he didn't intend to be the last.

    I'm not sure that claim itself makes it likely or unlikely. Could be the truth, could be an obfuscation tactic. No way of knowing at this point.
