I particularly like the emphasis re: education. If it's the first time you're hearing about it, then listening is worth more than talking.
You address "making statements or assumptions," but not asking questions. When asking, it's important to remember you are never due a reply. Inquire with the grace and kindness you'd use for a 50-year-old judge, and you probably won't go wrong.
