I guess part of the reason I find the can opener story so egregious is that I myself, despite my total lack of handiness and aversion to the manly practical arts, am old enough that I just always remember knowing how a can opener works and can't imagine having to learn it

You, yourself, never overcame this challenge at any point You know what the word means simply because you grew up speaking English It's one of those things you're just supposed to know, and not knowing and having it become a challenge is just bad luck

Yup. My mom often pointlessly repeats chinese words I've never heard before at me when I ask what she means, zero context. I explain with other English words if she doesn't understand what I am saying in English. It's her fourth language. Sadly, the respect only flows one way.
