[Smith, Allen]

The wise and experienced Rosalind Franklin also had the structure wrong.

While I prefer to go by my own name, I recognize that some people rightly fear

to do so. An anonymous source may still have something worthwhile to say.

Experience does not always teach well.  The wise and experienced Linus Pauling

and Erwin Chargaff were wrong about the structure of DNA; the brash young James

Watson was right.

That's true, and it certainly makes no difference if the person asking a

question hides behind an alias. But what about the person answering? Can you act

upon advice from an unknown source? Jane Doe might be experienced and wise,

whereas John Smith might be some pimply youth who only thinks he knows all the

answers.
