I also get the point as folowing. One doesn't "know the answer" to general knowledge. One knows the answer to a question, or one just knows some general knowledge. eg.
1. That's general knowledge that even a little kid would know!
2. The answer to that question is something that even a kid would know.
Next, the use of "let alone" also usually goes with a negative. eg.
1. That's general knowledge that even a little kid would know!
