I wasn't sure whether Eliezer's point was that people do in fact all know who Bentham is, or that many people do NOT in fact, but saying "everyone knows who he is" is the sort of thing you say that signals scholarship.
I agree that it signals scholarship, but I think the most natural reading is that the "association" Eliezer had in mind would be the original association.
