Domain knowledge is an added advantage for a tester to test the product effectively.

Like for an application for airline domain:

1. IF NO domain knowledge : the tester will be definitely able to test the product acording to requirements BUT he/she won't be able to test it apart from the specs( like error guessing & the calculation for legs & class tickets)

2. IF YES domain knowledge: the tester will know if a certain drop down has invalid values to select for destination & source(codes) . Also, the term 'leg' would make more sense suring ticket booking testing.

kindly let me know if this was useful :)
