LOL. I don't feel I went quite that far (at least I started from basics), but - to pursue the analogy even further - I'll accept that what I did was maybe talk him through his route in a little too much detail. "When you get to this rock here, you need to make a 30 degree turn to the southwest; 50 yards further you get a slight incline.... then you get a steep rock face where you may need crampons... whaddya mean you've only got trainers? Are you taking this seriously or not?"
