I think you should change "principle" to "myth." You don't want to ruin the flow of the article; people who aren't reading carefully (which is a whole lot of people) are going to scroll through, read the bold, and think you are advising such things.

That crossed my mind while writing, but I didn't want to stray too far from the wording in the presentation. I just changed it to "Straw Vulcan Principle #x". Is that a good compromise?

I think that works.
