If someone told me that I was too detailed, I would respond that it is probably due to the fact that I was trained as an analytical chemist where the details matter. [all true]
I am sure that any of you could say the same or a similar thing. It is improbable that someone would ask you a question about chemistry. Or tell them that you used to be a rocket scientist where even the slightest difference can cause disaster. If they ask a follow-up question, ask them, "Have you heard of the Challenger Disaster?" They will probably nod or say yes. Reply, "That is all that I am allowed to say."
