Rant: That foreman who said I should never use mesh tape on inside corners

Back on a job in Toledo last summer, a guy with 30 years in the trade watched me tape an inside corner and told me to rip it out because paper tape is the ONLY way, but I've been using fiberglass mesh for years with zero cracks and I think the real issue is how you mud it, not the tape itself, anyone else get told their go-to method is wrong by someone who won't even watch you finish?

Paper tape's just jealous of mesh for finally showing up to the party (decades late).

Haha "decades late" that's brutal. Had the same thing at work, old timers swore by paper tape until they finally tried mesh and never went back.
