Oh dEAr
When having a meeting with EA's my first question is always "have you ever worked or finished a project with xyz before?" followed by "do you wanna go tech deep or do you just want to go over some diagrams you made?".
Gets 'em tiptoe'ing instantly and you can seperate the idiots from the real EA's pretty quick.
It's always a pleasure to work with experts but since some years the EA field has been invaded with vendor-trained shills or pretty clueless body shopped PFY's. A real EA with proven trackrecord is hard to find, like one that figures out 443 is probably https... and working as a dev(/ops) with expert EA's there is never any friction but only cooperation towards a mutual goal.
