I'm not talking about the way the implementor "dropped it into 
conversation," I'm talking about the way the language is beyond sold. 
The blurb on the Web site mentions this as a selling point, and as a 
subtitle for "The Spry Computer Language":

Certainly Python mentions ABC in background information on where Python 
comes from.  But Python doesn't mention this as the first sentence in 
describing what its virtues are!
