I suppose I can't argue with that, but anyone technical enough to know what an AS is should know better. Also, would it really count?

Did you intend to say the first autonomous system number assigned for use on ARPAnet?
Pedantically yours,
I have to admit I wasn't sure. I know ARPAnet predated BGP and EGP I believe so I wasn't sure if there were ASN's then.
