** While talking about why actual wizard magic on the Discworld is treated as a FantasticNuke in ''II,'' the narrator uses the expression "it has to be hard, because we know there's no such thing as a free goblin". At the time just an example of HoldYourHippogriffs, this was years before Pterry would actually explore the plight of [[WoobieSpecies Discworld goblins]] in ''Literature/{{Snuff}}'' which included, among other hardships and indignities, [[spoiler:being mass-kidnapped and exploited as slaves]].

The claim that Dawkins is "bigoted against women and minorities" is a straight lie, as is the claim that Pinker was supporting Jeffrey Epstein's paedophile ring (Pinker met the man, as did many others). All of these facts are available to anyone who googles and this isn't the place for slander or an extended editing row.

** The amount of praise the third book gives Richard Dawkins is rather uncomfortable now, as it was written before his bigoted views about women and minorities were well known. A similar situation occurs with Steven Pinker in the fourth, whose credibility has also been seriously tarnished by subsequent events, not the least of which being his alleged involvement in Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile ring.

Added an example from the main Discworld YMMV page, and fixed the indentation.
* {{Anvilicious}}: It's indisputably the case that the "religion is bad / BeliefMakesYouStupid" view in ''The Science of Discworld 3'' gets hammered for all it's worth. Luckily, only the non-[[Creator/TerryPratchett Pterry]] chapters are preachy, making them much easier to avoid.

* FridgeBrilliance: Early in ''IV'', it's noted that the [[TheFundamentalist Church of the Latter-Day Omnians]] would "like to go back to [[Literature/SmallGods Vorbis]] if they could". Now, other than [[ChurchMilitant brutally torturing "heretics" to death]], what is Vorbis most notable for? His claim that "what appears to the senses is not the ''fundamental'' truth". In other words, insisting that [[IRejectYourReality all empirical evidence can be ignored]] in favor of the "deeper" truth, i.e. what Vorbis claims to be true. Which is '''exactly what the Latter-Day Omnians do''': they continue to insist that the Disc is a sphere, despite the testimony of all the people who've seen that it isn't, and ''even when their god himself tells them it isn't'', because ''their'' truth is, as far as they're concerned, truer than mere reality.
