I think the moral of this is that our minds work in wonderous ways. Even if
RP did not consciously INTEND it, he DID it nonetheless. His lack of
conscious intention is no reason to asume a lack of meaning in the name.
Perhaps it will be wise asking: "how does this happen? how did those
meanings get trhough him, without his intention?"
