A number of people would likely have recognised the title and publication date and inferred authorship. The piece is well-known.

I don't fully agree with HN's views on authorship. It's often inferrable through domain names (which serve as something of an authorship proxy, and are often weighted internally to HN's ranking algorithm). I'd much prefer there was more metadata on articles, and remember Slashdot's practice of providing a brief summary blurb with some fondness. (Slashdot itself is sadly largely irrelevant, at least for discussion. As an article aggregator it has ... some uses.)
