i believe the etiquette is a discreet click of the up arrow, perhaps a wry smirk at your screen, then move along, nothing to see here...

It is distresssing to see how many mistakes we made.

Luckily that was then.

Would reading this article have stopped you from making those mistakes?

Probably not. At some point you have to learn to trust your own judgment rather than someone else's. For me at least, that took time.
