Well, yes, even if the word is 'Schrankenwärter'.

But there are tricky differences in the languages and such difficulties 
cause linguistic errors.

So I -for instance- make several errors in English, even if I can speak 
that language quite well.

But Einstein spoke poor English with a heavy German accent and slow, 
even if he was reading his speech from a sheet of paper.

So I we would expect a certain amount of 'Germanic' mistakes, if he 
wrote an English text.

Only no such errors can be found in the quoted text. Therefore I assume, 
that Einstein had not written it, but someone else.
