I'd have thought that dysnomy meant having a problem with remembering names.

I've noticed that even though legislators sometimes get into trouble for taking bribes, I've never heard of the laws that were bought getting repealed or even re-examined for that reason.

Yeah, for all my poking fun at the book, 'dysnomy' is one of the words I neither already knew nor figured out on my own.

"[...] I've never heard of the laws that were bought getting repealed or even re-examined for that reason."

Wait, what ... oh come on, there must ... oh crap, I can't think of any such either. :-(

Somebody with better Google-fu please confirm or refute this observation?
