Years ago, I went with a med school classmate to a Trek convention. Not my thing, but she wanted company. Walter Koenig (Chekov) was the GOH. When he took questions, one fan began to describe the inner workings of Federation Starships, then attempted to ask a technical question. You could see the irritation on Walter’s face, but he very kindly explained that he was an actor, and his role was a JOB. He wasn’t a fan interested in all the minutiae of the show. He also politely requested that he not get any more questions like that. Thankfully, the rest of the Q and A period went forward with the superfans holding it hostage.
