Thus while Otter may have envisioned a concept of linking multiple machines together, he was operating in a pre-computer age and structure of his interconnections was structurally quite distinct from today's internet.

No, wait, it must have been his tobacco-baron daddy that was consulted! Algore wasn't born yet. He wrote about this undoubtedly AFTER consulting with Algore.
