I think he means he would like a boolean response to "Do you know what this is?" not, "please give me whatever information you have in your cache".<p>Although I can see it the latter way, as well, and it's reasonable to ask for an ebay clone if you can poop one out for $200. There's a lot of stuff I'd buy for $200 if it could be had. But just because I'd buy it at $200 doesn't imply that I'm willing to pay several times that to have one hand crafted, which appears to have been the outcome with the billable time.
