Your average hoaxer would have to be a bit stitched up not to do it. Demidenko and Malley are now with us forever. There will be no last word about them. You may think we've had Demidenko overload, but we've only just started to hear about her. The reason for this is obvious.
Hoaxes are factitious events.
They depend on irrational responses and dazzling coincidences. The course they take is strictly unpredictable. We're not bothered by the fact that an American writer named Pound developed his own crazy theory of economics, or that we read a great romantic poet called Wordsworth. Real people are immune to such trivial associations. But in a hoax everything matters, nothing exists by chance.
