Lewis Carroll didn't know this, and treated universally quantified statements over an empty domain as false. Of course that's wrong; but I think it's over-specialising to claim that this is something obvious, or that everyone knows.
(Also, as others have said, if someone learns from this, then that's great! That's a positive impact, whereas saying "you should have known it already" is purely negative, so why bother?)
