John Samson is very much mistaken to cite Paradise Lost when accrediting Lucifer as a "prominent nomenclature".
It illustrates his ignorance of the poem. In fact, the name, as in the Holy Bible, is limited to its ignominy.
Milton emphasizes this when he has the archangel Raphael instruct Adam: "Satan - so call him now, his former name is heard no more in heaven."
This all makes Mr Samson's "facts" very unconvincing.
