That's because you aren't asking them about their college rowing days, yachting, collecting weird mechanical wristwatches, equestrian sports, the best restaurants in the Hamptons or other matters on which they are uniquely suited for and qualified.

Have you ever read the chapters in "American Psycho" where Patrick Bateman goes into a multi-page digression about the style and characteristics of very specific mid 1980s era pop music acts? Basically, like that.
