The parenthetical remark is not intended to be a comment on the chilling disregard for the safety of full stops and commas, though. It is meant to be a fully separate aside. Perhaps we have different writing styles.

Edit: Ah ha! I'm sorry, I was perplexed by your editorial commentary and didn't get what you were saying about parentheticals (I see what you mean, now, and yes, the systems are the same on that point).
