    What if someone wants to teach him how to use one? Is he just doomed to never know?

    You could probably show things incrementally: for example start by explaining the scry spell then show a scrying orb and keep introducing closer and closer concepts?
    But I am not sure: it is not my theory.

    Frankly there is a lot of gaps in that theory; it if were an illusory thing it would be fine, but if you enter a warehouse full of datapads you have the problem of friends being able to scale a pile of datapads to get to the other side but you falling through them because they don't exist to you somehow.

    Those datapads would probably get re-interpreted as personal crystal balls (which somehow don't roll when dropped).

    Well if they function the exact same then there IS no difference other than an aesthetic reskin in that case.
