The article doesn't mention that you just spurt facts at random times, on random subjects, regardless of your interest in said subjects. It's obviously about knowing a lot about subjects that interest you. I know that it applies to me. I have lots of topics of interest and my constant researching new and interesting things and my eagerness to keep learning stuff makes me know a shitload about a lot of stuff (not about everything, obviously). If a good moment arises, I will gladly share my knowledge with other people. For instance, everyone I know, everyone I've ever worked with knows that I am very good at grammar and language and, if they have a dilemma, I'm the person they will resort to. I also remember that, when I was little, I was so passionate about the Solar System, that I knew every single planet and moon in our Solar System, including details about chemical composition, size, history etc. I have forgotten a few of those details over the years, but it just shows that, if we are passionate about a subject, we'll gather an enormous amount of information about it, making us seem like walking encyclopedias.
