OT: If two people have to send a signal to each other, they should be named Alice and Bob, this goes back to Einstein's paper on the EPR paradox[1], and is based presumably on the fact that Alice starts with A and Bob starts with B.
Sometimes I read articles where Alice sends a signal to Charlie or something like that, and for me that is a huge red flag that indicates the author may not have payed much attention in school and/or may not have a great grasp on what they are talking about.
Fortunately this article is about Alice and Bob, so I am inclined to take it seriously.
