Thanks for expanding on your initial thoughts and for relating those expansions to my response. (First rate engagement. A+++ would read again.) I agree engagement and relational context are orthogonal, and I think your elaboration captures very clearly what I mean by using > judgement to know when looking up a piece of information is germane to the interpersonal context or whether doing so is incidental Professor Y clearly cares and that care is expressed by looking up information. My main point to your first comment was that sometimes the nature of a relationship and a meeting will make most citations of fact irrelevant. For sure, sometimes meetings between close relations will benefit from citations of fact. Reading above, I don't think we're in disagreement, though we may be focusing more tightly on different scenarios. Thanks for engaging!
