At least, not without documentation, they couldn’t!

Given what I said to Kamau about Metamor’s overly advanced state of
technological development for its time in my reply to him, I don’t think it
would be entirely impossible for one of its inhabitants to understand what he
or she found in a space probe if one just happened to land near the keep. Oh,
sure, it would be very difficult and take a lot of patience, hard work, and
perseverance (not to mention just plain old obsession,) to do it — it would, in
fact, be akin to bringing a Galileo who has only just considered doing the
experiments for which he is remembered by history up to speed on modern physics
by turning him loose on the Internet — but, like I implied above and hinted at
in my reply to Kamau, it wouldn’t, given an obvious information-access
mechanism, be completely impossible. That being said, I’d have to agree with
you that the odds of this happening are still relatively low under Metamor’s
current circumstances.
