That depends on play style. If the GM tells you you've failed before you try to use the information, you can try again.

Perhaps an uncinematic variant is that it can serve as a use of Fast-talk that takes 20 minutes.

I think that's using Philosophy as an influence skill against a philosopher, per B.359, second paragraph.

But if judoka can buy a Throw technique, docking seems a sufficiently distinct part of the operation to sustain a technique.

You can't actually buy Judo Throw. Its default is Judo skill, and it cannot exceed Judo skill. Martial Arts p75 lists it as a technique, apparently so as to be able to explain it in more detail
