Assigning personal attributes (responsible/irresponsible) like this is a sub-optimal strategy for improving human performance. It conflates what a person does with who they are. What a person does is malleable, and their performance can be improved with teaching, practice, better techniques, etc. Experienced teachers understand this and avoid turning a discussion about correctness into a discussion about character, as it's counter-productive, and reinforces the narrative that performance is based on innate character, not on hard work.

It is not obvious to me that there is anything very wrong with this. In particular, I think it is rather more reliable than going by what they say.
