Old timer told me my taping knife was too wide for corners, took me 2 months to admit he was right

Guy I work with on bigger jobs, been hanging and taping since the 80s. Watched me feather an inside corner with my 12 inch and just shook his head. Said I was fighting the tool, that corners need a 6 inch to lay the mud right. I brushed him off, been doing it my way for 5 years. Last week I finally tried his way on a hallway in a remodel over in Fresno. Honestly? Mud went on flatter, way less sanding after. Felt stupid but I'm switching now. Anyone else get stubborn about a tool and then realized the old heads were just trying to save you time?
