Sounds like a guy I worked for in my teens, his favourite saying “if I told you, you’d be as wise as I am”I read all that as if I wrote it! I stick to the 'if you need to borrow it twice you need one if possible and try to pass it on.
That extends to knowledge too, easily given and withdraw just as fast. I learnt that one aged 19 and it stuck with me for life. Toolmaker, he told me it took him 45 years years to learn what he knew and why should he give me the info?
