I think the main problem with the Twin Peaks comparison is just that - it\'s only a comparison. It defines Evangelion solely on the basis on \'\'something else\'\' instead of based on its own traits, elements or themes, and that something else is something that people have a coin-flipping chance of being familiar with in the first place.

There are so many options much cleverer than \\\"Ha ha, they\\\'re both {{Mind Screw}}s! Isn\\\'t that funny?\\\"
Furthermore, I don\\\'t actually think anyone can be casually expected to draw the conclusion that Evangelion had a massive impact on the mecha genre based on that quote, or what the nature of that impact might be. Not sure how you think this is addressed.
In a nutshell, the Twin Peaks quote is weak and oblique, and the idea that \\\"it\\\'s been there forever\\\" isn\\\'t justification enough for it.
I won\\\'t start editing it away if you decide to revert, but please consider carefully whether I\\\'m not making some sense here...
