Yea. My personal guess would be that the people in question were never even exposed to a lot of hidden (correct) assumptions we have that makes it so obviously silly, like the nature of things like math, “statements” and “truth”.
EDIT:: I’m apparently not all here today and sprouting bull**, sorry.

You mean that the graduate student of the philosophy of logic doesn’t know about things like math and theories of truth? That seems unlikely to me.
Adding to this, it seems more likely that they were exposed to critiques of those assumptions, and put more stock in those critiques than we do.
