If I was the foremost authority on anything, and an inquisitor came along and requested that I identify the exemplars which I employ in my determinations and the methodology which use in order to draw my conclusions, I would feel that these questions address information which is proprietary to me.

On the other hand, if an alternate expert challenged the validity of my evaluation and cited the exemplars and defined the methodology which he employed in his analysis, I may be forced to show my hand.

The response which you have witnessed to date appears reasonable and appropriate to me.
