Had a chat with an old timer about hedge trimming, now I'm questioning my whole approach

Honestly, I was trimming a big row of privet on Tuesday and this retiree walks over and starts watching me. He says I'm stripping all the inside growth out and that's why they get so sparse after a few years. Tbh I always just wacked everything back to the same shape and called it good. He showed me on his little hedge how he leaves the inner branches longer and just does the tips. Ngl it makes sense but my boss is gonna laugh if I come in trying that on our commercial accounts. Anyone else ever get schooled by a random guy walking his dog?

Aw man, that's rough getting your whole game questioned by some random guy.

Joke's on him, my game is so bad even I question it sometimes. Guess I'm just consistent.
