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! -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
