Poe's law teaches us that any satire, sufficiently advanced, is indistinguishable from sincerity.

Or, as John Scalzi puts it:

1. The effectiveness of clever on other people is highly contingent on outside factors, over which you have no control and of which you may not have any knowledge; i.e., just because you intended to be clever doesn’t mean you will be perceived as clever, for all sorts of reasons.

2. The failure mode of clever is “asshole.”
