But "facki fi da" does not mean "tolcri da".
When the tomb of Tutankamen was discovered, I would call that {ko'a facki fi ko'e}, regardless of whether {ko'a tolcri ko'e} is true.
Yes. With {ko'a facki fi ko'e} you can mean for example that ko'a discovered/confirmed "lo du'u ko'e zvati ko'i", which is one of the senses of "discover", i.e. "find something for the first time". The other sense is "expose something previously hidden", which is {tolcri}.

What's the differnce between responding and being responsive?
Responding is an event. Being responsive is a property.
"Being responsive" is a state, which is one form of event. It's an event of having the property of "responsiveness".
being responsive (having the property of responsiveness) =/= responsiveness
It's the same for "being buoyant".
