"Doxxing" refers to providing the real world identity of a psuedononymous person, breaking their pseudoanonymity.
It doesn't refer to providing the WRONG identity, as that wouldn't break their pseudoanonymity. You, hananova -- are the QUEEN OF FRANCE! Did I doxx you or not? I don't believe I did.
You can't have it both ways. Either Hector Martin is Asahi Lina (which he is), and Luna revealed this to Martin's chagrin, and Martin published a document to try and trash Luna's reputation as a clumsy attempt at damage control, or Luna didn't reveal Martin's barely-concealed secret and no need to publish the document.
By publishing the document, we know which interpretation is correct.
