If I were to seek what might be earnest in this kind of question, it would be when someone is asking what other people have noticed which they might have missed. Once the quality is named, it is easier to notice.
This has happened to me in audio, and also in wine tasting, in food tasting, in art. I think I've seen or experienced all I could and someone says, "Did you notice the dill?" or "Do you see there's bare canvas as part of the painting's color palette?" etc.
It's weird to think that perception often requires training, but it does.
That, at least, is the best spin I can put on the question you're skewering.
