Thanks.
I only partially agree with what you quote.
In a part of hacker community, being able to remember who is Raymond or Graham may be the difference between being considered as a member of the ingroup or not. Of course, that’s never such a binary choice, but it clearly may help to indicates that we have the same reading in commons, Hacker and Painter, The bazar and the Cathedraal.
I can’t state whether it’ll save 5 minutes or less, because the question is not how much time it takes to remember the information, but the message sent.
Furthermore, it sometimes occurred that I met famous searcher in academic conference. Turing price or Fields Medal. I won’t work with them quite probably, but I suspect that having known who they are, what they are known for, may potentially have been a lead to interesting discussion, and help me know where to lead the discussion.
