When I hear stuff like this I always imagine going to a restaurant and asking the waitress for a menu and them replying “lol just google it”.

It’s not that I can’t or don’t know how, it’s rather that the expectation should be that a website should… link you to the information it believes to be relevant background. It’s why it’s called a “web”, linking is a core concept.

given the audience and the venue I think it's more like going to a restaurant as a customer and then asking the waiter to explain what a sandwich is.

in this case there was a menu in the next empty table and you saw it but in place of getting it you want the waitress to get it for you. Which is a normal behavior but you could save your time by just getting the menu yourself.
