I think the substantive point to document here is that such a move
does exist in the world of juggling.  Whether we call the article by a
certain name or credit one particular guy with inventing it is
something to be dealt with by normal editing, but we don't want to be
in a position where we say "we've seen strong evidence of this
juggling move but we can't document it because the name by which the
source knows it may be ideosyncratic.  Let's get all human knowledge
*into* the encyclopedia, and once it's there we can argue about what
name to call things.
