Sarcasm is an adjusted stress reaction.

Thank you for pointing this out! Because the more I saw people calling it anachronistic, the more I thought, "But is it really? Or is it like The Tiffany Problem* of historical fiction and people assume it is even though it isn't?" I appreciate your bringing actual evidence to the discussion!



*In case you're not familiar with it: The Tiffany Problem is that if you name your medieval-era character Tiffany readers will roll their eyes and assume it's anachronistic, even though Tiffany was a real medieval name. Described here, among other places.
