Appreciate the fact that he's NOT saying 'That was good enough, I'm sure you can Pro-Tool it to get a good master'.
Sometimes we all know that Take 1 was the one but we still go on trying to improve it. I don't have a problem with that unless it's somebody like Eric Johnson where you'd probably sit there for weeks......
I learned to be 'diplomatic' about stuff like that. Keep all takes, no matter what the musician says. Instead of arguing whether to do another take or not, just do it. It will take less time that way.
