His statement: (except if you see clear disbelief) — is the intended meaning visual sight?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : His statement:
unless we noticed him having open Kufr (disbelief) إلا أن تروا كفرا بواحا
Sahih al-Bukhari 7055, 7056
What is the basis for interpreting "sight" as knowledge?

The Shaykh : Because it may not be tied to visual sight; it may be heard. So if we interpret it as knowledge, it encompasses what is known by sight or what is known by hearing.
