I didn't get that at all. Maybe it's discourteous and flippant. The humour is broad rather than refined but I still chuckled.
Hard to evaluate "ill informed" due to distance in time and the fact that I lack insight into the context. It wasn't aiming to be comprehensive and insightful. It was a tongue in cheek crib sheet between people that appeared to know and get where each other was coming from.
