Not patronizing, I think that's just empathy. Knowing that what you know isn't "known" just by being told. Otherwise you just end up dumping the contents of your 50 ft junk drawer (and your ego) on the floor of your open office space, and sure, maybe they sift through and find a few useful nicknacks to push them forward in their work. But they don't become better at discovering, collecting, or curating nicknacks.
