Ha, no. I was just making something random up.
Here's a real-world example: I enjoyed Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots, which is a parody of the superhero genre where the lead character takes an actuarial science* approach to challenging superheroes. My review was that I liked the book but thought it could use a little less action and spend more time on the satirical mathematical analysis of superheroes.
"More math" was not the general take from the other reviews.
* In the book it's framed as accounting rather than actuarial, but it's clearly insurance math.**
** And that footnote gives you a good idea what my reviews are like.
