But I have to wonder what if you’re question is what hits a nerve with the important person and launches them into a long winded speech about your topic. One that starts to drag on but never actually answers your question.

Would it actually be better to cut him off as above and ask for the full response later or to let him continue until you get your answer?

“Finally, do not have an extended conversation with the Important Person while other people are waiting behind you.”

I have had so many bad experiences with this and people do this all the time.
