That advice is a case of closing the stable door after the horse has bolted: it concerns a choice we can no longer change now that registration has closed.

An utterance that sounds like advice may be heard as an instruction if it comes from someone who decides whether cooperation continues.

The advice about the starting length should remain approximate if the result depends on the tie's own length and how the knot is made.

I would prefer us to correct mistakes after each turn; constant interruptions undermine my confidence, even when the advice is sound.

I am pleased by my mentee's success, but would not describe it as vindicating every piece of advice I gave; her independent choices also belong to the story of that achievement.

I remember that advice as a turning point, but earlier experiences may also have prepared me to accept it; I will describe what the conversation meant to me without making a single sentence solely responsible for the change.
