Wilson don't count, do they? These writers appear to use 23 ironically. They ape true believers and any hope of finding significance in occurrences of 23. They deploy references to 23 to disturb readers, to foster a sense to paranoia, to undermine the smug, to worry to herd, and to mock the societies of secrets. Or do they?

It doesn't seem that way to me. While their motives may be just
that, there may be something more sincere to it. After all, R.A.
Wilson is likely Malaclypse the Younger, who wrote the Principia
Discordia, which quotes the Law of Fives, from which the 23 occurrences
are derived.
