Personally, I always considered it to be a bit of rule that's open to your own interpretation. To me, it means "act like realistically, if you were in your character shoes, would you really know the same things they do?" and "Stay in your own lane unless circumstances suggest it would be better to do so otherwise"
In the given example, that just sounds like someone not really trying to RP at all. Unless the bottle had a label on it that said poison, which could still be construed as a joke by co workers, or if they were a scientist that analysed the solution, just running over to sec yelling "I GOT A BOTTLE OF POISON" is kind sucky.
