The link proves the danger of trying to read more into things than might be there nicely, Docyabut. If there was evidence of Plato playing these kind of sophisticated word play in his other writings, I would say perhaps. There is none, so I fail to see why he would start so close to the end of his life, which is the time period that frequently when Timaeus and Critias are assigned to.
I disagree that word evidence has limited value, however, simply that one can't base an entire theory on it. Then, too, it could be when Plato's characters say many times that the story is "true", he means it is "true."
