Same thing with backyard chickens. Had a periodontist appointment today. Knowing that I raised backyard chickens, my periodontist had many questions for me because his adult daughter (a former student of mine) just started a backyard flock. I was more than pleased to oblige. A normal forty-five minute appointment turned into an hour long appointment.

Being a direct paternal descendant of Niall of the Nine Hostages, King of Tara in northwestern Ireland in the late 4th century C.E., I definitely have the gift of gab.
Questions are great, especially when the subject matter is outside one's scope of expertise or knowledge.

In this case, I saw lots of statements, so I don't think your anecdote applies.
