    She is McCarty for sure but I doubt that she is et al too …

      Taking credit for the work of people who are barely even credited in the first place is… a way of responding. If only she had disappeared behind the curtain for a moment, re-emerging with everyone there with big hair and guitars and eye shadow and screamed “we are McCarty and the Et Als!!!”

      Oh well; next time.

        She drew attention to her being the/an author of the paper rather than just being a naming coincidence (or family relation, etc).

        Adding the et al was likely for that effect, rather than an attempt to take credit for other authors’ work, imo

      She’s so prolific, one mere mortal body is insufficient for her bamfness.
