The attribution there seems to be optimized for people who (1) recognize ANW as Alfred North Whitehead but (2) didn't already recognize the quotation as his. I suspect that's a pretty small set.
Sorry, not optimised, just satisficing: because I have started to always attribute by initials, I need never think about whether to spell out (which) names...
