No offence intended at all, but any knowledge gaps are due to training generally not the trainee.
Most ground schools are computer based training. After having been on 9 turbine types I find that every one of the ground schools whether with an instructor or CBT leaves one with many questions if they are the questioning type.
Many pilots probably just accept not knowing smaller details and the more modern types frequently exclude a lot of system detail and can get along just fine like that.
Sometimes a question gets asked and the answer was there in the manual but other interesting information gets posted on the thread which may or may not be relevant. Subsequently, one can quickly do a google seach with pprune and subject matter and find several threads with good information.
Unfortunately, some responses(without specifying any threads) come from posters that basically question a persons abilities because of the initial question was asked. I find those people to themselves have a questionable personality in terms of whether they themselves should be flying while the people starting the posts to likely be the kind of pilot you want to fly with because they are furthering their knowledge.
This is a forum for technical questions. If you don't like it because sometimes the subject should be well known then go somewhere else. You won't be missed.
