LAA,
"In French, "si" is used in response to a negative question. So yes, of course I knew that. And before you insult my intelligence, consider whether you knew as much as I do at the age of 16. I have a casual interest in linguistics, but it is not my forte. I am more into history and political economy, political science, etc."
not only in response to a negative response but also to a condition, like "if" in english.
Si tu n'es pas là à 5h00, j'attendrais encore 10 minutes.
If you are not here at 5 pm, so i will wait 10 minutes more.
So as you can see, your knowledge is limited.
