I think there is a cultural misapprehension of what these tidbits of knowledge we share with one another should be seen as.. It's usually framed as something the person who wrote it knows and that the person who reads it should learn.. and that's kinda what is happening, but everything I wrote after the ".." to try and pinpoint how to shift this framing is not going to get across. Maybe in a real conversation..
