How about this:

"In later years, P.G. Wodehouse always went by P.G. Wodehouse might have
thought that Pelham Grenville sounded snooty."

No algorithm is going to manage this kind of thing, where the reader has to
understand the meaning of the sentences to parse them correctly. The
question is how seldom will mistakes occur.
