Agree, but I think there is more to it. On the surface we can see the author makes some distinct propositions, but what is happening underneath? My guess is he's shaking the structure of common knowledge, showing people unknown/forgotten sides of objects that have become boring and well known. (The same thing happens when a wife surprises the husband with larping a maid, to make him again curious about her well known body).
I think that "flat earth" theory (which is ridiculous by itself), serves the same purpose, to "shake the boat", to make people question everything, even the basics.
