I shared this cautionary tale for both mentors and students alike. There is something in weaving for both free spirits and for people who want structure.

I don't like people telling me something is the right or wrong way to do something. I'm afraid anyone who told me an idea I had was "the worst thing to do" would not be my mentor a moment longer! I just don't believe anything is black and white like that. Especially craft skills, you've got to develop a feel for things and build your own understanding by trying things out. What a shame about your “mentor”.
