Because (the royal) you will be argumentative and shitty, and sour this person on their desire to communicate their knowledge at all.
This also seems mostly made up. In decades of using the internet, I can't remember ever seeing someone trying to share deep domain knowledge and getting mocked/shouted down just because they had a language gap or otherwise weren't a great communicator. In spaces where substantive discussion happens, people generally seem willing to engage in good faith and help close that particular gap.
