You've got that right, I don't accept.
The trainee is the trainee, not the instructor.
In reality, the trainees opinion simply doesn't count, because...the instructor is actually paid by the airline to instruct, not listen to some nonsense ideas from junior pilots.
Well, his (incorrect) opinion is usually based on a misunderstanding. Therefore if you let him state his opinion and the supporting argument you stand a good chance of identifying (and correcting) the underlying misconception.
Its the difference between rote learning and comprehension, and in the long run is far more effective because whatever the guys misunderstanding is will otherwise follow him to the grave.
