In some early texts concerning long-distance viewing, the term ‘mirror’ is used, but not as a device for simple reflection. Instead, the mirror takes on other powers, and the term seems to serve as some kind of metaphor for a fantastical device to view scenes remotely.
In so far as writing is concerned, any one can write anything, in any language, at any time, any where in the world (fiction). As to ascribing a meaning or an applied context to it, is, (as you're attempting to do) an entirely different matter. Perhaps the word mirror was wrongfully presumed (absent mindedly) to be a telescope (a wishful thinking, on somebody's part) by one writer of wayward fiction, in the past. In the world of fiction this idea spread like a wild fire. So what?
I fail to see the purpose or a meaning (other than mere amusement) of this long article, couched well, but to no meaningful account. It is certainly, not a literary piece or an object of art. Sorry!
