Oh I hear ya, Danny!

Well I don't think anyone is stupid to give everything out. (As said, I'm sure right now it would be closer to getting water out of a rock). But if someone gives a person 90%, holds back the important 10% ... then it's up to the student ... if they can't figure out the last part after that long, they don't have it in them.

Still, again as you said, even if they figure out the 10% ... they can surpass the mentor. And end up screwing him/her up good.
