      I’d presume the professor would do a quick sanity search to see if by coincidence relevant works by such an author would exist before setting that trap. Upon searching I can find no such author of any sort of publication.

        All people replying that there’s no problem because such author does not exist seem to have an strange idea that students don’t get nervous and that it’s perfectly ok to send them on wild-goose chases because they’ll discover the instruction was false.

        I sure hope you are not professors. In fact, I do hope you do not hold any kind of power.
