It doesnt record it, it corroborates it. The databooks repeating what he said isnt proof that he knew everything about beforehand.
 * He knew it's name and what it did, then assumed that it's a spirit weapon right? but then why does the databook record that assumption?

Jason of the Mangekyou wrote:

because it's true and not an assumption don't see any assumption here either but these are suppositions tho I never said it was an assumption, i said it was a conclusion. Usually one comes to a conclusion after analyzing the data at hand.

Regardless, he is the exposition character. How he knows what he knows is generally irrelevant since his purpose is to dump information on the viewer

Zetsu observes and reaches conclusions about Kirin as well, did he know all about it just because the databooks repeat what he said?

He just stated WHY it was impossible for persons to find it, then he listed the reason why. Why do you keep saying he said it was impossible or could not be done? Those words are literally not written on the page

Tayuya said no one had ever survived hearing her flute and Shikamaru did it Jason of the Mangekyou wrote:

Naruto being able to touch it most definitely means it is palpable. Zetsu said it has no physical form so it's beyond whatever nagato was ripping from Naruto. So spirits and souls can be interacted with...

...But not a spirit object? How are their properties different exactly?

Jason of the Mangekyou wrote:

It also speaks the fact that spirit that spirits can be interacted with by the living via jutsu
 * If a barrier can trap dan and his jutsu then that speaks to the barrier's potency doesn't it?

Jason of the Mangekyou wrote:

So spirits can interact with humans but not vice versa because.... you said so? Even though Naruto did exactly that?
 * The other examples are spirits interacting with humans, which is not the same as humans interacting with spirits.

There are also multiple jutsu that allow users to manipulate souls and spirits Jason of the Mangekyou wrote:

So susanoo "grabs it" and viola it automatically merged with susanoo. Interesting I didnt say anything about merging. A biproduct of one of Orochimaru's jutsu causes the soul of his host soul to be trapped within him, so a spirit-chakra construct can certainly obtain a spirit weapon

Lol to share emotions, knowledge and what not. Not the same thing. It shares all those things by connecting spirit energy through chakra. The manga states this
