Yes, the "real names are the only names that count" argument seems a little silly to me, considering the weight of tradition against it. Or are the people making that argument going to discredit the work of Mark Twain, George Sand, Lewis Carroll, Ellery Queen, etc. because they published under pseudonyms?
