Sorry, just an observation, not a criticism.

No, I agree totally. There should be a common, shared cultural knowledge. For instance, I know a lot about 1940s pop culture by watching tons of Warner Bros. cartoons as a kid in the 1970s.
However, I also realize the reality is a lot of folks these days don't do that, so I went for the lowest common denominator assumption in my reply to him -- as I have seen lots of folks on CP say, "Huh, before my time" to certain references.
