I wonder how much of Arde's "jump lag" in WG was lack of sleep over where he was going and who he was going to meet [g].
I don't remember anyone discussing the whole Dendarii Mercenaries name thing (and I've read the entire list archive -- we had some very slow periods on the reference desk a few times) . Then again, it was brought up in Brothers in Arms when the "imaginary" clone issue came up. Still, you'd think they'd have twigged to it before then. Not to mention knowing what Admiral Naismith looked like, and they didn't kidnap him during Cetaganda? I suppose that would have caused an interplanetary incident.
Anyway, if you're feeling brave, bring it up on the list. It would make for an interesting discussion. And knowing them, they'd probably Watsonianly rationalize it somehow.
