Isn't it dramatic irony when we, the audience, know that the first sentence is counterproductive to the point being made by the author while the author isn't aware? Maybe it depends on how meta you want to be about considering the author of the article a character.

It's certainly ironic if an article about slop leads with a tired old glob of pseudoscience slop and the author doesn't realize.

I can't tell if your comment is being ironic or not.
