I think they call that irony (Score 1)

You implicitly assume that Salinger was actually wrong - on whose potentially false authority do you believe this? The FBI's? I take it you haven't been paying much attention to their shenanigans lately, or you'd have recognized that believing anything said by any FBI source on any topic whatsoever should be immediately discounted as deliberate disinformation. I don't say Salinger was right, I say only that having the Feebs contradict him publicly does vastly increase the odds that he was on the right track - those morons couldn't find their own Johnsons with both hands.
