It is not 'caution' that is urged, but rather 'caution against usage of
irony'. Irony, Kenneth Burke notes, is one of four fundamental tropes of
figuration.  It would seem that some people have no clue about irony,
synecdoche, metonymy, and metaphor.

As they say in America: you can't cure stupid.  Also, storm-teacup,
mountain-molehill, etc.
