Totally agree - but I think the point to bear in mind is that we (you/me) are being credited for the quality of the article, rather than the quality of the hook.  I understand (I'm sure other people read this, so I definitely do understand) that there are sometimes important WP:BLP issues to be taken into account, but recent DYKs have been no fun at all - long delays for no reason (other than lack of assessors), absence of any sense of humour among some of the assessors, and so on.  Never mind - it's only a game...
