Correct. I often look through my Calibre Library (I know I'm not supposed to peek "under her skirts", but I do) to see if I have any author names that are "similar" but not correct, like an author with a middle name and the same author with only a middle initial. I then fix it in the GUI and watch the two merge together, leaving only a single folder for that author.

BTW, ignore any posts here that imply you made some kind of mistake. It really doesn't make any difference one way or the other. All that matters is whether you understand now how Calibre is supposed to work and whether it's actually working that way now.
