question:  Why does the crew later refer to Ha-Adamah as Adam?
context: [Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from Worlds of If Science Fiction, March 1961. Naturally they did not get results at once, nor did they expect to; it required a fine adjustment. But they were disappointed that they found nothing for several hours as they hovered high over the rotation. As though there were but one city, if that is its form. But this might be so varied or so unfamiliar that often both the machine and the designer of it were puzzled as to how to read the results. It was for this reason that Glaser used that model no more, but built others more amenable. And there was no denying that the Extraordinary Perception Locator (or Eppel) was a contrary machine. On Earth it had read Positive on a number of crack-pots, including Waxey Sax, a jazz tootler who could not even read music. He then narrowed to a smaller area (apparently one individual, though this could not be certain) and got very definite action. Finally it signaled the result, the most exasperating result it ever produces: the single orange light. They called it the "You tell me light." So among the intelligences there was at least one that might be extraordinary, though possibly in a crackpot way. If we find no others then we will go down boldly and visit this." The Little Probe hovered stationary in the light and the moon-town came up under the dawn. "Not a building, not two sticks or stones placed together. And those two ... why, they could well be Earth-people. Timidity has never been an efficacious tool with us." And one could only wish that all people were like them. There was a man and a woman, and they were clothed either in very bright garments or in no garments at all, but only in a very bright light. "Ha-Adamah," said the man. "What do you make of them?" asked Stark. I don't understand that light that surrounds them.
