the name also seems to be a reference to another pseudonym, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Bourbaki
A pseudonym you mean?

An anagram. Same letters, different order.
I might be dense today, but how's Nickieben Bourbaki an anagram of Richard P. Gabriel?
both!
I wish i could upvote you more than once. This is a very good counterargument.
May as well complete the set: Is Worse Really Better? https://dreamsongs.com/Files/IsWorseReallyBetter.pdf
Also: Nickieben Bourbaki might be an anagram of something, but it is definitely not an anagram of Richard Gabriel, with or without the P. There's no G, there's no h, there's an N and a k, it isn't even particularly close.
That claim is my best interpretation of this sentence:
> Same author (name is an anagram).
Although perhaps it was not your intention to connect the clauses in that way.
Same author (name is an anagram).
