You are right. It's not that it hurts the ego; it's that the nerd wants to know if it solves his problem or satisfies his need.

Switching POV now: I don't expect the details to be all front-and-center, but I do expect to be able to find them with some digging.

When the boilerplate response is "let's hop on a call and chat about your problem" I drop the product and move on. I know from experience that this will be a giant time waster, because the person who "hops on the call" will know absolutely nothing.
