Now, as far as berating, I have a different opinion on that. We're supposed to be professional. The experienced official, if they are in a position that they should be offering input, should offer their feedback in a way that is beneficial to the recipient. Depending on the recipient this could take many forms but I doubt it ever reaches the level you seem to be implying above.

A lot of people consider someone berating them when they telling them something in the most professional way. Many times people only want to hear what they want to hear and when someone says something different they get offended. I have very seldom every seen anyone berate a younger officials. I see all the time younger officials wanting to "ya but" everything rather than listening and just shutting up. I was always told to listen and then use what works and do not use what does not. And most of the time only one or two little things are going to be useful with the best critic.
