You assume that the shift from x as /sh/ coincided with the date cited as the end of the Old Spanish period. Don Quixote was certainly not written in Old Spanish. However, the sound changes from Old Spanish to modern Spanish didn't just take place automatically because the language was no longer Old Spanish. It wasn't just a process of "poof! and we're done".
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

"Goff" is just silly. It doesn't make sense according to any rules of pronunciation.

No, certainly so. Carochi's Grammar of Nahuatl from 1645 conclusively disproves your wikipedia.
