Yes, absolutely correct. Especially since they won't know to go to a dark sky location and/or use an appropriate filter.
Their only hope, in my opinion, is if they turn their telescope (even a piss-poor one) towards the moon and look at the lunar terminator (as you know from anywhere, even in a city). Then, they may be hooked, and strive for a deeper understanding of what can (and cannot), reasonably be observed.
Or not.
