Finally got my brain in gear (which is odd given it's not even 10:30), and see what I was misreading yesterday.

The author wasn't unknown (I'm actually reading one of his books now), but I don't imagine that's the reason they published the paper.There is nothing original in it [this paper], beyond the easy observation that Lyndon's theorem gives the distribution laws. I wrote it up for publication because I became aware that the facts have not reached print. In fact they haven't even reached the grapevine. Recently I came across a team whose research project revolved around answering the question which Lyndon's theorem has already answered.
