every photographer I've known, knows more about their camera than most mechanical engineers could begin to tell me
every action, every noise, every position, photographs are their art, the camera is their tool, so thats a very inaccurate comparison, especially if you want to talk film photography (in which case you have to know not only how the camera works, and how everything goes together to get that "magic" shot, you also gotta know the chemistry of developing film, and have a basic understanding of the physics of light)
now, as far as what he's saying, it really isn't that bloody hard, google can always help if you're a bit lost though, and the comment "I have enough money to not need to know", well, thats just a very ego-centric way to look at things, yes, this is a trivial dollar amount either to build the thing, or to buy the thing, the guy was offering you advice, and you snubbed him because you're "better" as a virtue of being "richer"
