You could say the same thing for the Nixon example. That doesn’t justify using politically charged examples.

(This is part of a larger issue where someone will be like “Heuristic X!” and other people, later, will act as though merely quoting the person who asserted Heuristic X is sufficient to demonstrate that Heuristic X is both correct-in-general and applicable-in-this-instance. Merely quoting that snippet does not, in fact, win you the argument!)
The Nixon example is politically charged by content. The sea lion comic only by context. If one doesn’t know that specific detail of history of the internet, it’s pretty neutral.
