It didn't bother me as much, but mostly, I think, because I long ago realised cozies are almost always written for the lowest common denominator (and by that I don't mean the 'dumbest' - I mean the majority who aren't necessarily knowledgeable about subjects considered academic).
It still bugs me. I still want a cute mystery with decent pacing without all these extra details regurgitated onto me that should have been slashed by an editor or expressed differently.
Part of my annoyance stems from the fact that these are some of the kinds of topics I have to deal with in real life and it gets annoying to have them explained at me in print or used as a basis for a plot. I want a break from the dead white guys, for crying out loud.
