Please note that when I dashed down the name "Saul Rosenberg" instead of "Saul Rosenzweig" it was not a "Freudian slip" (though I would be interested to hear suggestions for my unconscious motivation had it been such)! It was an example of a linguistic notion called "banalisation" (okay, banalization), the replacement of a correct word or name by a more familiar similar one.

More familiar because you had been obsessing about "Rosenberg" -- or something unconsciously related to it? :-)
