Yeah, it's a very common pattern. It reminds me:

I'm twelve, reading Signs on the couch.

Me: "Mom, why's it called 'Feminisms at a Millenium'? Isn't it supposed to be 'feminism'?"

Mom: "Sweetie, feminists argue a lot. They don't all agree on what feminism is."

Me: "Humph. They're being dumb."

In my youth, the joke was "The only thing two Jews can agree on is what a third should donate to the Temple." (Which is, admittedly, one of those things you can only get away with saying about your own tribe.)
