BR(caveat - people new to a firm are shy and hesitant to ask for help and don't know who knows what yet, and giving them an official "go to" guy can be useful. But for long term (over the first year or two) career mentoring, you just can't "assign" that)C

Your caveats and exceptions have severely weakened your initial stance.
