Were the X-MEN creators watching BATTLESTAR GALACTICA in 1978?

There is a very famous sequence in Marvel's The Uncanny X-Men #146 (April 1981) where the super-villain Arcade brashly lights a match using Dr. Doom's armor to ignite the flame.  Is it worth mentioning that Lt. Starbuck (Dirk Benedict) did the same thing - three years earlier?  In the Battlestar Galactica episode ("Lost Planet of the Gods", Part 2), Starbuck lights a match using a Cylon's armor to ignite the flame.
