Since he died in 1940 I doubt he knows much of anything.

I am painfully aware of this when I went to the beach as a kid only to be bombarded with thousands, if not more, of flying small spiders. They were EVERYWHERE!

I misread the title to mean its a secret given to the president: it's more that the guy who originally named it never told anyone. Probably means nothing.
