The problem is at no time did Marigold ever declare herself an expert on the subject. May mentioned robot jail and Marigold asked her what it was about it.

No, but she didn't seem to understand why Momo reading about robot jail didn't help her connect with May. She'd understand that "read about the anime on the wiki" is nowhere near the same as "watched the anime".
BenRG:
This strip reminds us that Marigold really has a lot of social problems including a definite lack of empathy. It isn't malicious but she genuinely doesn't think of other people's feelings when pursuing curiosity or if she wants something. She is even aware of this but only in hindsight and usually only when called out about it. A curious girl.
It is clear to me that robot jail and her experiences therein are going to be a permanent trigger for May but the specific problem here is Momo's tendency to treat her theoretical knowledge and abstract principles as universal absolutes that don't automatically apply to people who have actually lived through the experience. This tripped her up with Bubbles and it seems that it tripped her up with May too. I'm just wondering if she's learning from this or if, to her, it's a frustrating mystery as to why people keep on telling her that her principles, based on the highest academic standards of ethics, are unrealistic!

She's getting more exercise too (vigorous sex with Dale at a rate and intensity that it keeps on driving Momo out of the apartment). That said, as we can see, she still has her distinctive moles on her jawline.
