Part of the answer is in your previous response.
You wrote:  "many _good_ professors I met in my life typically were
keen to explain their theses, statements, or knowledge (instead of
dragging that out of him)".  You essentially admitted that not all good
professors behave like that.

You make an impression of one that received basics of CS.  Probably, 40
or so years ago, but still you have to know basic facts.  Unlike me, for
example.
So, Tim expects that you will be able to utilizes his hints.

The comments I made here, in two responses to postings of yours,
were not statements of opinion but statements of fact.  They are
no more statements of opinion than a statement about whether the
Riemann Hypothesis is true is a statement of opinion.  Someone
might wonder whether an assertion "The Riemann Hypothesis is
true" is true or false, but it is still a matter of fact, not a
matter of opinion.
