Got schooled by a 20 year veteran on tape vs mud today

This old timer in St. Louis told me I was wasting time using too much tape on butt joints. He showed me his method with just one pass and a 6 inch knife. Made me realize I've been overcomplicating things for years just because that's how I was taught. Anyone else have a moment where some random guy on a job site completely changed your approach?

Let the knife angle do the smoothing and stop fighting the tape.

Let the tape do the work not your hands.
