The article reminded me of this scene about nostalgia from Mad Men, which for my money is the single best sequence in the entire series. (Especially if you’re aware of the story at that point.)

That’s kind of the major theme of MM - the illusions of advertising and of life in general. I’m fairly certain that the writers were well aware of the word’s etymology, but wrote Don’s dialogue to emphasize the artificiality of it.
