Offering unsolicited "advice" to others is a great total d bag move! Never. Unless someone asks for help keep your mouth shut. In anything in life whether it is tri or work, if you want to be effective leading and influencing others keep in mind that "the teacher will appear when the student is ready".
If you want to have influence on others you typically have to wait until they experience failure or pain until they are truly ready to listen to others.
The world is filled with a-holes telling others what to do and if you are one of them chances are you don't get listened to very often.
I swim in a pool full of people every morning who all need my great advice but I exercise restraint, always.
I get your point, personally my self-restraint has always prevailed but surely there is a point at which you have to do something! In the below example I'd bet money this rider went home and raised his saddle per GMAN's advice, reducing the chance of likely future back pain etc..
