Pilot DAR with hindsight do you think your STOL briefing was adequate? Or was the nervous type flying instructor jusr a know-it-all-numpty?
Yes, fair enough... I would concede that those were the days before I had refined my attitude about effective briefings! But, there was a measurable "numpty" factor on his part too...
I have, and continue to, observe that there are a lot of pilots (some with less experience than I) from whom I can still learn something very valuable - as recently as last week, as a matter of fact.
We all come from a slightly varied aviation past, and we all get it less than right, from time to time...
