Very mysterious that “Albert Einstein” is bolded in both instances, implying they refer to the same entity (or at least share the same Wikipedia article). But “Hans” is not bolded. Implying that it’s… its own thing, it’s something modifying “Albert Einstein”. There’s Albert Einstein, and there’s his best friend, Hans Albert Einstein, who is in fact regular Albert Einstein modified by this enigmatic “Hans” element. Very mysterious.
