I'm not surprised at all. For as long as I can remember, USA, a car and can country has bred an insular knowledge base by and large. People would always come in asking if Reynolds tube bikes were aluminum because they were so light. Their only reference was the Reynolds America aluminum company, which was only a natural assumption on their behalf. So, it took a moment or two to unravel the mystery and people were very happy to have been given the correct information.
