Except things don't need to be one way or the other in most cases. There are usually many ways to get the same or very similar end result.

The moment someone is told they should be doing things a certain way, they're going to get defensive. That's trying to dictate their playstyle, which we've been warned not to do.

The better way to approach helping someone is to say "would you mind a suggestion that will make things easier/more enjoyable when playing your job?" then leave it up to them whether they want the advice. People tend to be more receptive when allowed to choose instead of having it forced on them or when you express it as wanting to help them have more fun.
