100% unsolicited, unhelpful dbag advice.
Maybe what the guy meant was: Did you run the QRH "yet"? So he'd know where in the process he was jumping in?
I might give him *some* BoD since they were struggling with a primary flight control, ATC thought they were in the chimchee, and ATC solicited help on ground freq.
