I am not certain, but I'm interpreting that as a "no".
For people who "know" and are experts in a topic, the answers are
self-evident.
For those who are not, we may not, not only not know where to look but may
not even know the right question.
Also, I don't expect my interpretation of some information or
reality to be
the same as someone else's interpretation. Often I find my
interpretation is
different from other's.
