The help was not refused. Samuel actually said it's all fine after
clarifying a few things.

Who's prejudiced now ? And if we're going that way, then the point I was
making in my previous message, which I hoped you would have understood,
is that I don't want to work with people who give up because it takes them
more than a few seconds to find information, or who evaluate a project
based on the look of its web site. You're mentioning the halo effect and
you're right, I'd much rather work with people who have as few cognitive
biases as possible, so call me prejudiced against the others if you want,
at least I have a strong argument for my case.
