I was going to disagree with you, and then I paused to think in what times we live.

Why, did you - initially - make that honest mistake..?

Well, normally satire should be evident by the fact it's utterly preposterous, as indeed it is in this case.

Alas, we have grown so used to people holding these preposterous opinions in all seriousness, lately, that it is now become harder to figure out when something is satire. Dark times my friend....
