Thought: I think he was being ironic

Am I the only one who finds it amusing that a man whose job is to to shape the flow of a river of people is named “Wu Wei“? (from www.nytimes.com). Our fellow, to the right, there, is Wu Wei from… well… read the damn caption. For those who don’t know, here’s a little about another Wu Wei:
The literal meaning of Wu Wei is “without action” and is often included in the paradox wei wu wei : “action without action.”
Of course, the picture and caption come from the New York Times. perhaps they’re getting lax in their making stuff up. (I’m just kidding. Love you guys! Keep being the bastion of east-coast liberalism you’ve always been! …someone’s gotta stop the moonies. And besides, I’m quoting the wikipedia, also famous for making stuff up.)
