If you found those "irrelevant and unbeneficial", then while I agree that he

trying to walk you through the technical material when you're clearly
not currently at a stage where you are ready to learn anyway.

If you are trying to imply that he was acting in some unethical way, you have
further cemented the notion that trying to talk to you is a waste of anyone's
time.  *plonk*
