About 99% of the population
these days wouldn't know that the image in a Reflector telescope is upside down and back to front.
Show anyone from the general public some trees in the distance through a reflector during the day and they will be suprised and comment on how the image is reversed.
Dang! Even many amatuer astronomers are amazed when they see it too for the 1st time.
I have seen many amateurs get a surprise when they use their reflectors during the day and see that everything is reversed
It's just not common knowledge, or something expected
