Added clarification for answer not responding the OP

| Feb 6, 2016 at 13:52 | comment | added | Jesuisme | @eykanal Thanks for the clarification. You're right -- the OP is just toying with the idea. This advice would be better suited for someone who had already formed a company. | |
| Feb 5, 2016 at 18:02 | comment | added | eykanal | I believe the downvotes stem from this answer treating the professor as though he's interviewing for a position. The OP clearly stated that they are reaching out to the professor, who is an expert, to learn something new, but are looking for confidentiality. Also, the OP mentioned that they're just bandying around an idea at this point; there's no company for which the professor could consult. The behavior you advocate in this answer is pretty presumptive on the part of the student given the situation described. | |
