I think Nietzsche would strongly disagree. He never said anthing even 
remotely similar. Standing on his own feet he would rather say: 'If one 
person has a claim, it may be true, when two persons have the same, you 
have two Philisters with slave moral'. If misspelling his name would be 
a sign of creativity he would applaud, but we both know that in this 
case the misspelling is just a token of ignorance and indifference.
