I disagree. If one is not familiar with this opus, one shall have to expend more attention than would be suitable on matching the illustrations on the probability trees to their names and abbreviations.
Talk about inferential distance; for some reason it didn't even occur to me that people might not know their names (whereas I did think long and hard before going with that as my only example). I'll edit the pictures to include the names (tomorrow).
Seconding prase: "Seriously? I see these damned horses for the first time in life. Not only I don't know their names, but it is hard to distinguish them visually."
Make that "most of these damned horses" and "almost for the first time". I have kids, and they watch TV, so I'm vaguely aware of these things in much the same way I'm vaguely aware of cars honking outside: it's a somewhat unwelcome but not actively unpleasant awareness.
(Also the MLP allusion joke has already been done here before. Without pictures, admittedly, but I'd still judge it a "once and only once" kind of joke.)
