So the author is being anti-inclusive by defining precisely what they are talking about? I assume you've seen the XKCD about "15k people a day dont know what X is", you're committing the same elitist reasoning, that someone is an idiot for not knowing a thing.

Explicitly stating unfounded assumptions about your audience doesn't change the fact that they are unfounded assumptions. A whole hell of a lot of people in our country have relied on check cashing services regularly at some point, and believe it or not, many of us read blog posts just like them proper folks from polite society.
