Well, without "real credentials", it's a webcomic. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. I completely forgot this was non-fiction until I read the HN title again.
Agreed, it's not really anything more than a gimmick. However, if it only appears once in a few thousand applications it's going to grab attention while someone is trying to figure out what the heck it is.
