Wow! I have been ambivalent about authorship. To me, the main points were that I didn't believe anybody would have said that Hay had claimed authorship if he hadn't done so, and I found it hard to believe that Hay would have lied about authorship. But all that boils down to my own speculation, which is precious little to go on.

Thanks for calling that article to our attention.
