In the sense that, he thought through all of the formal relationship between a client and a professional such as himself. Obviously, very deep thoughts about this and, therefore he had very clear conclusions about what the relationship meant to both parties and how it should be conducted.
For example, I asked him if he would come up with a few options. And he said ‘No, I will solve your problem for you, and you’ll pay me. And you don’t have to use the solution.
