Appreciate your opinion Florian, this story was published on a Humor/Satire page, (similar to The Onion) any article within this publication, regardless of how it may read, falls within this genre. Had I self published it, or placed it in a history or non-fiction publication, I would agree with you. I had no idea, either the title, or the content, could be interpreted otherwise, provided the reader understands how Publications on Medium work. I'll take your point and do better in the future.
