Dammit! I recorded that episode in 1978 and was going to listen to it tonight for the very first time. Now it's been ruined for me!

  Do you expect people to be born already with all books published up until Date.now() in their heads? I can't believe this needs to even be explained but the reason spoilers are spoilers and are discouraged is that some people sometimes save something very good for later (and guess what that's disproportionately the classics because they tend to be good) and some people are too young and have not had time to read all of what you read (even if they wanted to for some reason) In this case additionally the spoiler (detailing plot point and revealing what work it's in) was not necessary at all

      You allude but you don't spoil. If the original comment was something like "ah the sacrifices that the mice had to take as part of their experiments on humans" without revealing it as plot point in specific classic work it would not be a spoiler and could be way funnier

    Next people will be telling us that we shouldn't reveal that the answer to the ultimate question of life the universe and everything is '42'
