Apr 18, 2023 at 19:18 comment added roy smith The nice comment of Jason, (project the quadric from a point of itself down one dimension), also explains why the theorem fails precisely for surfaces: smooth quadrics are reducible precisely in dimension zero!
Apr 18, 2023 at 11:12 comment added Jason Starr This also follows by very simple methods as well: the blowing up of a smooth quadric at a point equals the blowing up of projective space along a smooth quadric whose dimension is two less.
Apr 18, 2023 at 10:32 comment added Daniel Loughran .... this usually goes by the name "Lefschetz hyperplane section theorem". You can read about it in the book Lazarsfeld - Positivity in Algebraic Geometry I.
