Old baker told me my sourdough starter was too wet and I fought him on it for 10 minutes

I been feeding my starter a 1:1 ratio of flour to water for years. This guy at a swap in Portland said I should drop it to 1:0.7 and I laughed at him. Tried it for a week and my bread actually got a better crumb and rose higher. Anyone else stubbornly stick with a method way too long before listening to someone?

Why would you fix what wasn't broken though?

Samsung ruined the headphone jack on the Note 10 and I'm still mad about it.
