Using color was meant to portray the knowledge you again without 'reading' particular book or whatever. It piles up from your everyday interaction, everyday knowledge, society, environment and many factors. It's small when we look at them one by one, but unnoticedly, that many "small" parts form into a certain type of perception without we consciously knowing it.
I believe asking to give direct "source" for that kind of understanding is impossible, some people can break down and explain themselves, while majority(as I assume) do not.
But what really important here, back to our argument, is just because a person can't give you source to that "perception" or "understanding" of him, does not mean he does not possess that "perception" or "understanding".


"Either he tells me or he does not know anything"
This is where the argument start, a disjunction fallacy. I'm already brought up a few possible scenario, from can't articulate oneself to not having obligation, but you ignore it and, again, limit own your mindset to only thinking the person in question "does not have the knowledge".
1. Doctor is a weak analogy, Doctor has an obligation to do so, while forum posters do not.
2. Whether the doctor give evidence or not, the result does not only limit to "this doctor doesn't have the knowledge"


1st. To stay on original starting argument, Even if it mean nothing it does not limit to "he does not have the knowledge".
2nd. Tbh, if someone was talking about quantum theory and I don't know what it is, I don't really need the person in question to link me to quantum theory when I think I can google it myself that much.
If some one was talking about the function of subconsciousness and I have no idea how it work, I can also google it myself. I'm the one who get benefit from knowledge after all. Of course if you think 'winning' in forum post can satisfy you more then that's different case.

There one thing that I think you keep holding in yourself while typing the reply. I think you assume that I deny the existence of person who hide his lack of knowledge behind the arguments like "just look it up" or "google it". I did not.
I only argue about your mindset that seems to limit the result to 'the person in question does not have the knowledge'.

Absence of evidence is evidence of absence until an alternative comes along. I should address since, since most of your post is quite vague and kind of strays from the core of the discussion:

"I only argue about your mindset that seems to limit the result to 'the person in question does not have the knowledge'."

My mindset is that unless you show me you know, I have no reason to think you know. If you tell me 'just Google it'. I assume you don't know - else you'd explain or direct to sources. I don't go around, assuming people are quantum theorists unless they tell me otherwise. Occam's razor and all that.

Fate/Zero isn't deep at all. It's just better than the high school drama known as Fate/Stay.

Except in our scenario, they already told you otherwise but you just do not understand it. And later, tells you to look up.
Using "go around, assuming everyone" is a bit desperate of you here.

But that make me think, maybe we hold a different scenario in our mind when talking on this, so let's compare and match our scenario first before we waste all the time writing and finally the result turn out to be "it's all just a misunderstanding".
Here is a scenario I have in mind.
Person A and B is participate in topic Z
B is using X concept to write his argument that is used to support his idea about topic Z.
A doesn't know or understand what X concept is.
B he tells A to look up
A concludes that B has no knowledge about X.

Here is a scenario I think you have in mind.
A and B is participate in topic Z
B merely mentions X concept to strengthen his argument that is used to support his idea about topic Z
A doesn't know or understand what X concept is.
B tells A to look up
A concludes B does not know about X.

So, yeah, let's confirm our scenario first before anything else.
