Appreciation post: the apprentice who questioned my scribe cuts at 4pm yesterday

The kid asked why I was cutting crown molding flush against the jamb instead of coping the back edge, and after I grumbled through the explanation about time vs. the five extra minutes it'd take to do it right, I realized he was just repeating what my old foreman told me in 2011, so now I'm going to start coping every joint, even the ones behind cabinets, and has anyone else had a junior call them out on a habit they knew was wrong?

That's the thing, apprentices see what we stop noticing.
