Oh, I didn't even notice the mispronunciation of "beacon" initially.
I'm not sure whether that makes it better or worse, honestly. The statement was stupid enough without the gaffe.
I did wonder if it was a pronunciation issue upon a second thunk. There's a joke that "bacon" and "beer can" can sound the same in some Caribbean accents as will "Michael Caine" and "my cocaine".
Yea, should have pointed out that it's not a typo but I had already hit post :D
