Or the woman in question has made this kind of allegation before - perhaps even to Shermer himself? Who knows?
Besides, unless Michael Shermer is every bit the glass-filling conference-stalking, serial rapist that Plague Zebra accuses him of being, it shouldn't be difficult for him to narrow down his encounters at conferences and identify which event may have given rise to the claims.

If you read the letter from Shermer's lawyer to PZ, it outlines how they know who PZ was referring to in his original claim.

I don't think that's entirely accurate. The letter I saw was referring to the intermediary between the alleged victim and PZ. The alleged victim hasn't been named yet.

Oh yes - the reference to "Carrie" (the intermediary, I think) who appeared in PZ's original blog, but was edited out. I guess it's possible Shermer's team could work it out from that though.
