Veterans?

What do you do when a veteran official tells you practice a certain mechanic or positioning and then you watch him/her and they don't practice what they preach?

When I first started officiating, I discussed this with some of the "veteran" officials. I was told something to the effect that "I am already where you are trying to go". In other words, do as I say, not as I do. Doesn't make it right, but that's the way the game is played.
