How would you notice a difference in something you have no experience with?

You don't need to actively use something to have a general idea of it. Maybe it's not on his machine but he sees friends/family use it. Maybe he's seen ads, reviews, YouTube videos, articles.

I've never watched NASCAR in my life but I'm fairly certain I could point out differences between one of those cars and an F1 car.

This is the kind of thing people don't get with others when they say that they haven't watched a particular movie or played a particular game. Why bother when there's quite a hefty amount of information out there to learn of them and judge based on that?

People love to trick others into these things by saying "You can't judge a book by it's cover!".

Yes, yes you can actually. You just want people to waste time and money to validate their suspicions that whatever it is, will not be to their liking.

Yup, that's why we have reviewers and whatnot, so I don't need to spend my time and money on something that I most likely won't like. Yeah, I probably miss some gems from time to time, but I'm not hurting for choice.

Anyone else think "Don't judge a book by it's cover" is so weird in a literal sense? Lots of people judge books, music, movies, etc off the visual art associated with it. Otherwise graphic design wouldn't exist.

I didn't say I have no experience.
