Leaving open the possibility that someone else could come up with a Mayhewianism?
Yes. Sort of like all those pithy remarks that are attributed to Oscar Wilde whether he actually said them or not. There is a sense in which the attribution isn't always altogether wrong.
I liked that one, too! Definitely very Mayhewesque.
