Anyone else get annoyed when playing a Table top game or RPG and your opponent or ally is fumbling with the rules. And not just any rules, but their own faction or units rules.

For example, i was playing a casual table top game, it was a 2v1. I thought I was the newest so I was playing as part of the 2 in order to see "how a game works", but my opponent who's playing the 1 side is using a unit and ask a question on how to use if of the guy who I thought knew more about the game than me, who confidently answers what they remember. This turns out to be wrong.

This ends up causing an argument later as I realize that there must be an error in the rules, and sure enough I use my ignorance as a shield to check the rule book, and not only to do i find that my ally was confidently wrong, but that they've been playing the unit wrong the entire game (which was actually mixed results)

I don't get how people can play a game, and only learn the basics, and not even learn the rules for THE UNITS IN THEIR ARMY. I get not knowing all the rules, rules can be complicated, but when learning a new game, focus on the basics first and learn at least the rules that your models do. This should be a no brainer. You should want to know how to use your forces effectively. Don't expect your opponent to be an encyclopedia, but if you both have the basics down and your own faction rules that covers 99% of rules cases.

If a unit, card or ability is to complicated for you to know how to properly use it, then maybe streamline your forces with that interaction out. Remembering a lower quality action or play more often is better than forgetting a good one all the time because you can't remember your own triggers.
