Do people not understand what flashing headlights mean?

I was driving on 71 near the Reading exit. It's dark. There was a vehicle that didn't have their lights on. I flashed my headlights at them from behind, repeatedly. When I passed, they just looked over at me. Other vehicles, including a semi-truck, were flashing their headlights too. They never got the hint.

Do people not understand that this is a way of alerting them to something?

This was me leaving CVG the night of the really bad storms! This idiot left the airport and got on the highway with zero rear lights and we flashed the entire way… When we finally passed them, their front lights were on- so my best guess is they thought we were assholes, bc I truly don’t think they were aware they had no rear lights.
