Ha seems like a fun coincidence. The writers came up with it early in the writing of season 4, and I started working on it sometime in the Summer of 2016 iirc. As far as the origin story goes, it was just great writers coming up with a great joke! Our lead technical consultant Todd mentioned to them we could actually build their joke for real, and the show jumped on the idea!
Classic.. yeah I think the lecturer says the project was from 2014
I suppose it's a clear testament to the quality of the show and its commentary.. thanks for your contribution to that end!
