Not sure if you were maybe joking, but Seeing like a Bank is itself a pun on the famous book "Seeing like a state"! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seeing_Like_a_State
So you've come almost full circle!

It is the full circle! patio11 refers to that explicitly in the blog. But most people here probably saw and remember Pat's blog more than the book.
The book is very famous! I would guess more people have heard of it than read that specific BAM post.
You're almost certainly right. But I bet the tables tip distinctly the other way if you're talking about HN readers instead of everybody. So I'd guess you're both right.
