I'm actually pretty good at picking up advice, and I almost always ask when I'm working with someone more advanced than I am. I won't say I'm "more concerned" with the delivery, but it's part of the package.

Most of the guys with good advice have to have it pulled, and to be honest, I've never had a partner do the stuff in the OP. I'd likely take the advice (separating tone from message is a learned skill that serves one well in the military) and parse it in my head, smile and nod, thank him for his advice, and can the bulk of it. If it's good advice, I'm likely to hear it from other officials who aren't dicks about it.
