You can know the right thing and still struggle to do it.

You can listen, read, study, take notes, collect wisdom — and still find yourself reacting the same way when pressure arrives.

Hebrews 5:11–14 confronts that gap.

The writer isn't questioning how much these believers have heard. He's questioning what all that hearing has produced. By this stage, their knowledge should have developed into something more: trained faculties, discernment, maturity, and the ability to help someone else grow.
