I thought this had to be an oversimplification because wtf? So I looked it up. You were essentially completely correct.

The joke is that publishing in the one, lower end, magazine sounds like publishing in one of the higher end ones

Ya, by that logic oil is solar energy too because the ancient algae photosynthesized to grow before it died and was converted into oil. Ridiculous! Nuclear energy is solar because the uranium was formed in a supernova!
