It is this attitude exhibited in this thread about "they should already know..." that causes young officials to be hesitant about involving themselves in pre-game talks.

Why folks think they are above talking about certain subjects in pre-game has always bewildered me.

I'll a take a conversation over the T/C exchange any day of the normal, tired ole clichéd pre-games. I would be excited about a young HS partner who asks such a question in the locker room.
Amen! The pre-game isn't really about individual rules and situations, even though that's what is discussed. It is far more meaningful on the subconscious level; it gets the crew comfortable with each other and helps defeat complacency.

What if pilots didn't go through the same old boring checklists every time they take off and land? Stuff like this has a meaningful purpose.
