Those are both clever, however as you pointed out.. Probably just an overactive imagination in this case. However "whiz" is probably related to wizard, and it is believed that wizard comes from "wise".
Lemme check whiz real quick.
"whiz (n.)
"clever person," 1914, probably a special use of whiz "something remarkable" (1908), an extended sense of whizz; or perhaps a shortened and altered form of wizard."
So yeah, that's interesting. Looks like you were right. Though almost certainly a more modern version of the word. But sorta means the same thing and is possibly directly related to the word wizard.
The source error one is funny! Though searching for a way to make it make sense is difficult, lol. Maybe I could fit it into a poem somewhere, hope you find mind! I think it's clever.
