I am not surprised, considering (from what you have already told me) how toxic that damned place was (and, yes, I use the word "damned" deliberately). Shit. I mean, the statement "couldn't possibly question the subject because I wasn't an expert in it" is completely illogical: surely it is the NON-expert who would have the most questions? Does one have to be qualified before one can ask questions? That's just... ludicrous. Or grotesque. (*headdesk*)
