Looking at the post at face value, and joke aside, it sounds that it was a one way conversation for 30+ minutes, non-stop.
Esoteric knowledge can be interesting. A sure-sell selling point about you to a stranger on a first meeting it ain't.
"Hi, how are you? ...Good? Great. Let me go on for 30min. on a topic you may care or not about and do so uninterrupted, and if you don't like it, I will make a quippy post online about it, okay? Like, for sure people will take my side. Win/win."
Bad take. They clearly didn't offer enough information on coelacanths. I've spent the last few hours reading about them and they are cool as hell, and I want to learn even more.

I don't think this post is meant as quippy, but rather self-deprecating. She only realized afterwards that she talked a little too much...
