They just directly translated the Japanese title for the UK (and everywhere except North America). It's possible that focus group testing led to the dumbed down version, but it's also possible they just assumed the simpler title would appeal more to Americans.
But yeah, it is likely a reference to Newton.
I was just recently revisiting old episodes of the harmontown podcast, and there's one near the start where Dan Harmon rants about how Good Will Hunting is not a good movie. He particularly thinks the "how do you like them apples" scene is dumb. So I'm guessing, since Harmon wrote that speech, that Jeff Winger shares his opinion. He also mentioned the theory that William Goldman actually wrote the screenplay, but I think the main thing is that he thinks it sucks.
I believe it was the tour episode when they're in Massachusetts.

I actually just read it for the first time in the past few days too. After all the hype, I was a bit let down although I still found it somewhat engaging. Its real strength is the dreamlike style, although that often seemed conscious and artificial - I occasionally became very aware that I was reading something the author had intentionally crafted to be stylistic, which took me out of the experience. I was surprised by how little happened over the course of the book, how little characterization there was (apart from the main character, largely fleshed out through constant flashbacks rather than a sense of her personality), and how flat the dialogue was. The way of alluding to the indescribable and incomprehensible was enjoyable, but nothing new. I'll still read the next two though (already started the second).
I also found their mind-control depiction of hypnosis to be a bit unrealistic for my liking. I know it's a book about reality warping madness, but it seemed like everything outside of Area X was supposed to be essentially present day reality, which the hypnosis isn't.

I'm sure it's better when made by a professional, but if you really want to try it, this site has a recipe: https://gluttodigest.com/cube-croissants-square-croissants-with-an-extra-dimension-of-texture/
It also mentions some places that sell it, but I'm guessing those are expensive and/or distant.
I don't know about modern Germans, but the nazis definitely appropriated and identified with classical Roman and Greek culture (here's one well-regarded book exploring this).
Given that the original post is about fascism and racial supremacy, I assume any German fascists/supremacists it's referring to share some ideology with the nazis in this regard.
I believe you're thinking of Dunbar's Number, but it's 150 rather than 300. Which does fit better with your original claim.
