https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/crackpot.html for the curious (on that version it's item 25 though :o )

The last line of the introduction

also made me think of item 19 on your list:

I'm sad though that you didn't call it the "Baez crackpot index"...

I find it especially strange that two of the authors gave their first name to the algorithm.

Like RSA?

RSA was also not given that name by its authors, the name came later, which is usually the case.

In the original paper they do not give it any name: https://people.csail.mit.edu/rivest/Rsapaper.pdf
