Social niceties serve as a grease that makes the social interaction go smoothly. By avoiding those and being frank and direct you only introduce sand in the mechanism. There was a wonderful quote to this effect a while ago on HN but I can't

My master's thesis involved using prolog as a query language to analyze source code. The implementation of Prolog I used was written in smalltalk and allowed putting smalltalk code right in a prolog query to, for example, performing heavy c
