Pointing out errors is not, in my view, telling someone how to do their work. Nor is suggestions on how things could be done better. I'm with Jean: I appreciate it anytime someone points out something that I didn't know, but which is info that I can use to improve something I'm working on. While it would, of course, be nice for everyone who sees a problem to help solve that problem, I don't expect or require that of anyone. I am just grateful to be made aware of the problem. Unless, of course, someone makes me aware in an argumentative way... which Larry did not do.
