The parenthetical is clearly there to show that she is not using this anecdote without EY's permission, since it might be taken as status-reducing.
Yeah, but maybe it would have been better as a footnote. And would newer readers know what "EY" meant?
Given it's right after an anecdote about someone whose name starts with "E", I think they could make an educated guess.
Probably. When I first started reading Lw it took me a while I think to figure out EY, though it is a pretty obvious connection. Anyway, I don't really think it's a big deal, just that it might be sub-optimal.
