Well Captains hate the same thing.
So instead of instead of trying to prove how good you are by quoting chapter and verse to the Captain, how about ask why he uses the technique he uses sometimes.
You will learn one of 2 things.
Either an alternative way of operating the aircraft, Or a way NEVER to operate the aircraft.
Disagree, if the Captain is doing something against a chapter and verse (which sounds like a matter of procedure, and not technique), he needs to cut it out. It is the FO's job to point out the error and put a stop to it. Additionally, the Captain should stop justifying his behavior by attributing the conflict to the FO's motivations (trying to look good) and take responsibility for himself.
