There are times where constructive criticism is to help us to eliminate mistakes or to do it better.
That we should embrace and not take it as we have done something wrong.
But when a boss does not listen what you have to say and later finds out that it was his mistake in the first place .... for these occasions protect yourself and keep copies of your proposal, so at the end it is not your mistake ...
Also remember if he does that in front of others, he shoots himself in the foot and it is known who did made the mistake in the first place ...
Be happy with that knowledge and let it go.

I agree with colleagues answer____
Thank you for the invitation. If your boss points out some mistakes, you should counter them with reasons that actually defend what you are saying is correct so don't give your boss a reason to point out mistakes in your work.
