Its similar to being a teenage driver. You have just enough experience to think you have some experience. In the controlled training environment this is not a problem. However, when things go wrong, the odds are against you.
I had that very thing happen to me last week. I corrected him on something small and he said, "I know I'm not as experienced as you are, but I have 300 hours. I'm not a student anymore." He's a CFI applicant.
He and I had a very thorough debrief, to include the above quoted post.
