How do you continue in Impro mode when someone asserts simple positive knowledge over a question you know to be fraught & interesting?

When I do it, it’s generally to troll someone being all snowflakey about the fraught and interesting aspects. It’s just too tempting. Like in that movie where a woman goes to great trouble to describe specific subtle colors for her walls and painters go “red, white, green”
There ought to be a term for this. Like leap of false confidence. Like leap of faith, but driven by dunning Kruger false confidence rather than courage in the face of uncertainty.

I just wish it were easier to learn about things without the permanent curse of being triggered by assertions of simple theories about that thing
