While I thank you for your noble charge in the never ending Crusade for Correctness, I will point out that, in writing satire, one can throw in anything for comedic effect that seems to fit, no matter how tangentially. The effectiveness of the satire depends, of course, on the facility of the linkage in most readers' minds. Hence, references to the flat earth can be made, even if we know the World is Round. :D
