I mean, saying "wow, I didn't realize that Blade Runner was based on a Philip K. Dick story" is one thing. But Dune might be the single most well-known piece of sci fi writing in the history of books. The only real competition would be 1984 or Frankenstein (if that even counts)... can't really think of anything else that would be in the same conversation in terms of popularity.
It's just a weird thing to have missed.
