I know there's XKCD for everything but I wonder if there should be.

Considering how "on the nose" this one is, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

No. I bet you could make a slightly better one and increase diversity in the online humor world.

It's in the name of efficiency. Instead of repeating the same conversation about, say, standards, you can just say 927 (which is 900, Yoda's age, plus 27 which is memorable because of the 27-club. Or also 3 squared = 9 and 3 cubed = 27), and everyone will know what you're talking about and you can skip that bit of conversation.
