To be fair, I'd say that happens with many esoteric or unknown problems that are presented in the comic

If you mean many esoteric or unknown problems get presented in a lighthearted way, sure.

If you mean they get presented together/associated with a second, separate, and much less worthwhile problem, and explicitely advised in the comic's hiddentext "this stuff is mockable", not so sure.

Yeh, that's why I stopped reading xkcd.
