" If he refuses to refer me, on the other hand, to someone who might be looking to invest in my project, I'm going to recognize that his ability to judge talent is nil."
Hypothetical: What if your idea and your business plan is a flaming dog pile? Choosing to recognize that it is his ability that is lacking at this point is called arrogance.
I disagree. A VC's job is to determine if he should give you money, not be a personal founder business coach. Isn't that why we would go to him in the first place?
Any information or feedback he gives should be considered a favor and is purely optional on his part.

Very unlikely, but then he should tell me why the idea is unlikely to work.
