I am only responding to what you have said to me and many others.

I can't afford to give attitude even if one evaluator tells me to do one thing this way and another evaluator the next days says to do the same thing a different way. Listen, nod, ask good questions so they know you were listening and go do it.
Maybe "in my circles" you would be the evaluator that is a windbag that loves to hear the sound of his own voice. Is that fair? Probably not. Neither was your "yeah but" guy quip.

This shows you have never been a person in my position. Because most guys deals with the "Yeah but" guys, just move on and do not talk to guys that know everything. I would rather give my time to the people that paid their money and want to learn, then the guy that paid their money and knows what they are doing. I will move on. What you need to understand is many of the people that you have challenged are very accomplished officials and are not speaking to you from ignorance. But you know.
