I'm not enough of a math nerd, but I've probably collaborated enough with some that are that it does probably get you a finite Erdos number (but I'm not sure what it is, as I don't know mine). I have collaborated with actual math and CS nerds (if largely on things like larps and filk songs/albums).
Also, while use statements get run on compilation rather than runtime, convention and clarity dictates that use statements appear at the beginning of a file.
Whereas require/do (I went with require because I found it more salacious) statements are actually much more useful near the code they are setting up for.
Moreover, I prefer "require sex" over "use strict" in this case. "use strict" works well enough as a pun, if only when read sideways grammar-wise. But as a use statement, it doesn't actually happen at the end, which kinda spoils the joke for those with too much perl fluency.
I -could- see swapping the "require sex" for something a bit stronger, I just don't think "use strict" is a good replacement.
