I find it interesting that there was no mention of Fahrenheit 451, the very reason they picked that number.

They did at least put a thanks to Ray Bradbury.

Seems like they were trying to keep the reference low key, maybe to increase the odds of its acceptance

Same rule applies to any use of 42.

Should it be a client error "vote differently" or a server error "this server is not licking the boot" ;)
