> Why are you introducing "false pretenses"? False pretenses was
I'm introducing "a state or condition that does not exist". You don't
have to play games and create an artificial situation to get
information from a sme.
"Imagine" this, "picture" that, "speak to me as" the other thing.
Learn the product as much as you can
Compose questions to answer what you don't know
Discuss those questions with someone more knowledgeable than you are.
