Question: if only a technical question is asked, how can it potentially spoil someone in a series like SAO?

This may not be the definition that is applied everywhere in the world, but that is the meaning we apply here. If you tell me anything I could not have known based on what I've seen or read, that's a spoiler (it gives something -- anything -- away). We use the anime as a baseline in most cases because we're primarily an anime forum.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand...

And it could accidentally reveal a bigger spoiler by connecting bits and pieces of information (or little spoilers).
