So, it could be very different compared to Luffy rendering hundreds or thousands of people unconscious. Still, considering lots of "regular" people can learn some forms of haki, Zoro of all people should be able to acquire at least a minor form of emperor's haki because he's quite a menacing fellow, especially compared to Luffy. Unless it's a genetic superpower.
All in all I actually prefer it this way: that we are left guessing and everything isn't revealed immediately. It keeps the story interesting!
