Yes, and I wrote the next two. The joke was about Colin's post --- "these 'right answers' are neither common best practices nor what cryptographic hipsters are advocating". The joke has always been "these should be titled Colin's Right Answers or Thomas' Right Answers [eek]" or whatever.

Nobody has deliberately included bad advice. That's not what I'm saying.
