My take on this, is that Mornington Crescent, and is a bit like Calvinball. I would consider SRC to be the Mornington Crescent of Chess games, a bit of an inside joke actually. I will say that it does serve a useful purpose of showing people who play a game like chess, or even a particularly variant, what their game sounds like to those who don't know about it.
So, on this note, we can use this comment here as a note that SRC is very likely a joke. The funny thing is someone I have messaged on BGG said they were responsible for its creation.
