Well, 'relate' is certainly not what I meant. They 'relate' very well. 
What I meant was, and there is evidence for this, that the shaman does 
not and will not allow the client in on his methods.
That's all I meant.
Really.
When did a con man let any of his marks in on the game? The shaman can 
claim 'supernatural' powers and beg off in that way. He is keeping 
'secrets', that is all I meant.
No jargon-spouting professional is _unwilling_ to let you in on things, 
given the time, and he would certainly offer to show you where to find 
the information.
Even Brodie shows us the Amazonian plateau where the levels are hidden....
