The question is simple and verifiable - it is impressive to me that it’s not contained in the LLM’s body of knowledge - or rather that it can’t reach the answer.

This is niche in the grand scheme of knowledge but Paul Newman is easily one of the biggest actors in history, and the LLM has been trained on a massive corpus that includes references to this.

Where is the threshold for topics with enough presence in the data?

The question might be simple and verifiable, but it is not a simple for an LLM to mark a particular question as such. This is the tricky part.

An LLM does not care about your question, it is a bunch of math that will spit out a result based on what you typed in.
