No, I think I got it, I just would have done the same thing without being a SkyGod about it, and, when the copilot asked politely why I'd flown without the autopilot (which, by the way, is usually mentioned in a good pre-flight brief), I'd have taken the opportunity to provide them with a reasoned, informative response without being a mega knob about it. I'd then encourage them to try it on the next sector...
