If I could eliminate one meme from the collective conscious, it would be "god of ______"
It is dumb, ahistorical, amystical, and dumb.
(Okay, fine, I could eliminate hate or racism or homophobia or child rape or some shit. Yeah, I'd probably do that instead. Nonetheless, it is a pretty annoying one.)

I do maintain that there's nothing wrong with convenient shorthand, or with noting that both gods were associated with water as a way to then compare and contrast and so forth, but that's sort of orthagonal. You're right that unconscious reduction a sign of not really being familiar with the mythology. Not one of my pet peeves, but, yeah, erroneous.
