Isn't Fate Funny?

As I was reading through Baker's Double Fold, I couldn't help but notice fate's funny coincidence. Isn't it funny that the two men in charge of the two opposing methods of dealing with library materials, conservation and preservation as carefully differentiated by Baker earlier in the text, are not only both named Peter, but one is Sparks--which Baker really pointed out as ironic (p. 121) and one is Waters, and both were around in the era of pyrophoric diethyl zinc, which is also reactive with water?
He he he...clever.
