Did you know that Murphy's Law was not propounded by Murphy but by another guy with the same name?

The law supposedly stems from an attempt to use new measurement devices developed by the eponymous Edward Murphy, and was coined in adverse reaction to something Murphy said when his devices failed to perform and eventually cast into its present form prior to a press conference some months later, the first ever (of many) given by Colonel Stapp, The fastest man on earth.

Well if someone, also named Murphy, proposed it then it's still named after Murphy, correct.
Was this an example of Murphy's law in action.
