I believe you did the right thing. A polite word means you read the notice and paid attention to it. That's encouraging to the author.
Anybody can make a mistake. Maybe she was busy and under pressure to complete the project, and didn't really have the time to thoroughly proofread the copy. You did her a favor.

As I'm sure you know, I would have said something. I wrote to National HQ CAP three times because they had a question on a Cadet test that was wrong and I wouldn't give up until they fixed it.

But to be perfectly honest, if I saw a poster like that I would not have even know that it was quite factually clear!! I really must brush up on my history! ;-)
