I disagree. I think we should name it after an obscure deity, and anthropomorphize the effect.
"Hey, I was just offering constructive feedback. Looks like you're being influenced by Azazel again."
Perhaps I'm just exceptionally obtuse, but it's not clear to me whether this is a serious suggestion or poking fun at those who do this (Eliezer with Azathoth, Scott with Moloch, neoreactionaries with Cthulhu, etc.).
(I think on balance it would be a bad idea, but it doesn't seem crazy enough that I'd be poking fun at it, nor brilliant enough that I can't imagine others doing so.)
