This is a shame to hear. I like the Socratic method and think it's the quickest way to get on the same page with someone.
I also don't see any problems with someone probing what I'm doing. How can they help if they don't understand what I'm trying to achieve?

Often, that is not the case. It's also great amongst equals, where both parties are trying to learn from the other. But this is not the scenario here.
