I tried pronouncing them when I saw the secret, and I pronounce epoch as \ˈep-ək\ and epic as \ˈep-ik\ and they sound really, really similar. Not exactly the same, but really similar. And I was a Biology person in college who used the term in a more formal setting. (Heck, if you listen to them on Merriam Webster's site (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/epoch vs http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/epic ) they really don't sound that different to me there either, and that is an "official" version.) So I really don't see the reason for the OP's anger. Even if I understand the frustration in someone not doing research.

Even if I understand the frustration in someone not doing research.

Yeah, I get that. But I also get hearing it pronounced and just assuming, as I'm guessing the fic author might have.
