The problem with this approach is that they lie, especially in
response to questions of the form, 'what is the least expensive way to
do x?'. It isn't necessarily deliberate -- they may be simply
repeating the lies that have been told to them -- but they will defend
those lies to the last. The only way to win is to be 100% confident
of your facts. This in turn requires either careful study of the
tariffs or (much easier) reference to an existing billing arrangement.
(Yes, I realize that an existing billing arrangement might be
grandfathered or might be a special assembly, but for something this
simple I was hoping a few data points would make the answer obvious.)
