> Ask a person on the street who their favorite painting movements are and likely every name will be more than 100 years old

I think you overestimate the publics art appreciation. The average answer will be a blank stare.

Well if you want to really be pedantic, they said every name, not average answer, so if most people reply with a blank state, that is still not in the set of every name, because they're not names. So the ones who actually do reply with a name are, as I agree with them, likely to be older than 100 years.
Have my upvote for pedantic overkill.
