You cannot correct direction while insisting the compass is disrespectful.

Feedback that shows you off course is not an insult, though it can feel like one when you have been walking confidently for a long time. Treating the correction as rude protects the walk and loses the destination. The compass has no opinion about you. It only reports where you are pointed.

Separate the message from the delivery, since even badly delivered information can be accurate. Ask what would need to be true for the correction to be right. If it is right, change the heading, and let the manner of it stop mattering.
