Sort of. Why the centralization of temple offerings in Judea would have benefited from a scriptural mention of the badness of golden calves, anyway.
Also, how one thread of Genesis never mentions Isaac after the sacrificial incident.

Golden calves are bad? Well, I suppose it'd be inconvenient to, say, pay for a house with one. Plus you're pretty much forced to own a truck to cart it around in.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I suppose gold calf testicles would buy you a dinner in a nice restaurant. You'd just have to bring a hacksaw with you when you go out to eat.

You can always improvise a hacksaw.
