Had a line cook tell me my beurre blanc was too salty and he was right

I've been making beurre blanc the same way for 8 years and never questioned it. This 22 year old kid at my place in Portland tried a spoonful and just said "that's way too much salt" without any attitude. I rechecked my recipe and he was dead on, I've been over-salting for years without noticing. Anyone else have a junior cook catch something obvious you were missing?

Call me crazy but getting called out by a younger cook is actually a blessing in disguise. In my experience those fresh eyes catch things we've just gotten too used to over time. Take it as a win that someone cared enough to speak up.

Honestly not sure it's that deep lol. Some of those younger cooks just like feeling important by pointing stuff out that doesn't really matter half the time.

Wait, what if the older cooks are the ones missing obvious stuff on purpose?
