The people did not believe Noah's entire ark thing. He was a preacher of righteousness. What did he preach? How did he preach it? He may not have audibly told them about the flood, but even his actions preached a message. The point is God PUT UP WITH JUNK while Noah built the ark and people refused. Any tone of mockery towards truth is present when truth is not obeyed nor believed.
The concept is the point, and you're splitting hairs now.
