I don't see the point of the mentioning that the neighbour was "jewish", but aside from that I find that it is a valid question with an embarrassing answer.

Donuel may not have a degree in philosophy, but presumably the philosophers here will be that well practiced, skilled and talented that they will be able to engage with him despite his apparent lack of knowledge of the rules of the game.
