No. To be fair, I do understand it, to an extent. We are outsiders. Outsiders they forced to come here, but academics are notoriously private when it comes to their more in-depth research to a point. I unconsciously sign my name on everything because that way no one could have stolen my research as their own, back when I was still working on my project. So there's a kind of paranoia when it comes to these things, even beyond outsiders being involved.

Sorry, I ramble. Basically: it's not personal. That's why I've been spending my time building a reputation that could lead to the kind of trust to get us closer to answers.
