How do you know I’m not?

To confirm though, I am indeed not that or any other mathematician and I can’t claim any credit for any contribution to category theory. I’m simply a programmer who knows a little bit about a few things, no one special :)

Going to the website on your profile made it immediately clear, but even without that confirmation, there's a much higher probability of you being a random programmer vs. a specific older mathematician.
Well I suppose it's possible that your "about" line is completely fake, but in that case it sounds like you want people to go around thinking you're not him.
