I can't help thinking of the false proof punishment in Anathem whenever anyone mentions the Baroque cycle.
There are so many bits of true history mixed in indistinguishably with irrelevant falsehoods-- which were especially irritating because I'd been reading swaths of Philosophical Transactions from the 1700s shortly before reading Quicksilver-- that I found reading it to be a punishment.
