This is about par for the course for 'instructors'. They do go by the 
book - they aren't trained to deviate from it.

It is obvious that testing laboratories with highly-trained specialist 
staff need special treatment. I don't know how that can be achieved in 
USA, but in Britain it involves contacting the relevant authority at a 
senior level, thus by-passing the normal 'foot soldiers'. In fact, many 
such authorities direct ALL incoming enquiries initially to a senior 
level, because catching the special cases at the beginning leads to a 
much quieter life!
