I just don't see how someone from Ireland can make a broad generalized assertion about how many Americans would know American regulations. You don't see me asserting what percentage of Irish families ate potatoes last night, because the fact is I can't substantiate that in any way, just as you can't substantiate your statement about a foreign concept in a foreign country. You can't make assertions about cultural knowledge or practices if you haven't spent substantial time in them.
