During a reading: medium's point of reference

[aesthetic]

I'm planning on booking a reading with Erin again soon, and I'm jotting down things to talk about here and there, as I get a chance. While doing so today, I came up with a situation that I find rather interesting, and maybe Erin or the other mediums here can give me some insight.

How much of a frame of reference do mediums need when passing on a question? I figure that I can't just ask something obscure like, "What do my guides think about what that person I was speaking to last night said?" Even rephrasing it so it's not so convoluted, something like, "I was speaking to someone last night and they said something which had an impact on me. What do my guides think about what was said?" seems against the rules.

However, what if I were communicating to my guides during the reading, also? Say they already have all of the context that they need. Can I ask something very specific without giving minutes of exposition to the medium?

I realize that you don't really need mediums if you can communicate with your guides directly, but my problem really seems to be listening. I think they can hear me (I may be totally wrong), but I need the medium to get back what they're telling me.

Separately, if this works, could this be a way of (indirect and opt-in) mind reading? Could this be a method of proving something scientifically?

Psychics are not mind readers. However, when I'm tuned in to the guides they will often bring up a situation first before my sitter asks about it. Usually when they do that it's really important stuff.

After I've exhausted everything the guides want to say to my sitter I open it up for questions. Sometimes they guides hit on every question before the sitter asks it and sometimes the guides don't so the sitter needs to ask. When you ask you should be to the point but brief. An example of a good question is: "I'm torn between taking the job in Pennsylvania or keepign the one I've got. What do the guides have to say?" If tha'ts enough info the guides will run with it. On occasion they or I need more info.
