Oh yes, I'm very well aware of that. Strangely enough, I wrote a post on that very subject myself earlier on:

I was using the name "Paul" as a shorthand for "the pseudoepigrapha popularly attributed to Paul"
. Whoever wrote them, though, the fact remains that their teaching is regarded as a part of the canon of the New Testament.
