Caveat: Sausageology?

Sihyeon said, "Teacher, do you like sociology?" We were doing a listening question in my TOEFL class, with a lecture on a sociology topic. 

"Sure. It's interesting, sometimes," I equivocated.

"I don't like sociology," he stated, categorically. Continuing, quite serious-toned, he added, "I like sausages." 

In Korean accent, these two words have essentially the same initial sound. Did he think they were related? 

For some reason I laughed a little too long at this. The rest of the class time was not used very effectively.
