    There’s probably a better, more precise, trope I’m fishing for in my mind… more like where someone is doing long-term research and study… or has gain experience over a period of time due to unique job opportunities… location of experience (often remote or exclusive)… expensive or security-restricted hardware access (like a medical virus laboratory)… and is unable to explain their concept due to their interpersonal abilities or time-compression of documenting the experience and information itself.

    At the moment I can’t come up with a solid example and haven’t dug in for a TV Trope link…

    Information system dynamic, experience, even diseases of humanities often present this pattern. Even on a massive scale. “The Spanish governor of Cuba, Diego Velazquez, then sent a larger force under Hernán Cortés, with instructions to trade with the inhabitants. Cortés had more ambitious plans, however, and after landing on the coast of Veracruz, in 1521, made his way to Tenochtitlán.” They not only introduced new weapon technology, methods of combat, travel technology of ships, diseases such as smallpox… there was of introduction of new languages, eating customs, religious beliefs and faith systems, new methods of media - printed books from the newly invented printing press.
