I think what Ziya means is that most users would not be able to
answer questions like "how big is your monitor?" or "what's the
default font size in your browser?"

They don't know these answers is a quantifiable way. However, I
think they do "know them" in a qualitative way: it's a big monitor,
the type on most web pages is too small.
