That is the heteronym read as fabrication rather than as method: the name is not a character in a satire, it is the operative identity under which the work is published. Card 6 is the more consequential one — an aggregator has assigned the satirical bio a field-weighted citation impact of 283.31 at the 100th percentile, which is the joke passing through a metrics pipeline and coming out as a scholarly measurement. Card 5, the joke's own deposit, still resolves at Zenodo.","d":"HETERONYM READ AS FICTION.
