Dan DiDio Obviously Missed This One...

From the letters column of Adventure Comics #386 (1969):

Good point. We all know DC would never let its heroes walk around in public calling each other by their given names! Why, that's just absurd! It's unimaginable! It's...

What? Oh. Never mind.

Seriously, though...did Mort Weisinger really believe that the readers of a comic book couldn't handle the concept of secret identities? If readers could handle the fact that Kal-El, Clark, Superman, and Nightwing were "all names for the same person", why couldn't they do the same for Kara's names? Or is he suggesting that Supergirl readers are stupider than Superman readers??
