I don’t offhand see why. “Sapiosexual” hasn’t made it into the OED yet,
but it’s been around for about twenty years, and I, myself, can testify
the phenomenon is real enough.

Well if the OED only has 600,000 words in it, it is hardly the
definitive authority on the English language. Do I have to mention
James Nicoll and his 3,000,000 stolen words ?
https://www.oed.com/

However, the Urban Dictionary has seven pages of definitions.
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Sapiosexual

And according to Merriam-Webster, the first known usage of Sapiosexual
was in 2004.

Sadly, since Dilbert now wears office casual, we won't know
exactly where it goes.

That completely misses the correct reference. Adams was asked if Dilbert
had ever 'gotten lucky'. He responded (paraphrasing) 'No, but when he does, I'll draw his
necktie hanging straight.' And indeed, sometime later, after a series of strips
in which Dilbert was courting a random woman, it happened.

I suspect that it has come into the public's awareness through its use
by Sandra Bullock's character in the recent movie "The Lost City".
