It's hard to imagine what sort of deeper meaning it could have. You do know who Fermi was, right? That helps.
Fermi, Enrico US (Italian-born)

Unfortunately it is not clear whether this is a
quotation of something Fermi. If so, the point
is ironical.
1. Fermi was a uniquely knowledgeable geniusi.e. someone we expect never to be confused.

2. Fermi was also a modest man. He alwayspointe

What you are describing is a Fermi of legend, BTW a legend I haven't heard. Now you try this again using the Fermi of fact.

I'd want to see some context. In addition to the explanations others have proffered, I could see it meaning

From this description, the lecturer might have been Heisenberg. But I'm not certain about that.

Some context would be helpful.
My guess: before coming Fermi didn't understand what the project was about. Aftyer hearing the explanations he
