And it works both ways, folks. There have been occasions where I (wearing my Magic Cloak of Incognito) have asked a re-enactor a simple, straightforward question about some aspect of the functioning and everyday use of a piece of kit (let's say, for the point of illustration, some lorica segmentata) and got back a generalised piece of guff about the whole thing because my question was not listened to carefully enough. Easily done after a long hard day being poked and photographed by the punters, I suppose, but let's not forget there are fools on both sides; fortunately they are few and far between.
