I realize that this is a humor post, and not necessarily the right place to provide advice, but never underestimate the power of adding a Q&A meeting to someone else's calendar. Someone doesn't want to make time to explain mystery tool? Well you just made it for them. Usually I try and be polite by asking before I arrange something.

Sage advice. In the meeting I will assume positive intent, like he's protecting me from mummy's curse.
