Among those who argued for the single author theory the Shadeans believed

It was to these ideas that Nabokov was making the comments you refer to.
Dear Carolyn,
Yes, it did occur to me, even as I wrote, that your theory was not the same
as the one(s) that VN was dismissing. You are quite justified in insisting on
this distinction.
Best wishes,
Anthony
