I’d understand if they were a random user, but a mod should already have at least some understanding about a community’s topic.
But worse to me are their comments in that post calling the people responding “childish trolls in this community”. I do not think that this is appropriate for a moderator.
I’d say yes for the first part, no to the second.
And expert or someone knowledgeable may not have the time to invest in a community. A mod is a volunteer who helps ensure rules are followed and we can have a place to discuss about a topic.
But a mod insulting the community is a different problem. It’s doing something which they should be helping mitigate.
