I’m thinking of less knowledge than that; having seen redwoods at all (even on TV) and knowing they can get really big is knowledge, relative to “It’s a kind of tree, right?”.
Ooh, right. That could be captured by “one or more related questions”, but it wouldn’t be obvious to me that it was, were I answering the question. I certainly didn’t know that Mount Elbrus was the highest in Europe three days ago—I imagine that would be analogous.

Well, that’s because certain people define the borders of Europe so that Mount Elbrus is in Asia, and Mont Blanc is the highest in Europe.
