Do what I say - don't do what I say

It never ceases to amaze me how a conductor can look for something then when he gets it make out the musician is destroying what was there already. They do not even know they are doing it! Any conductor reading this will, I have no doubt think 'well, that's not me anyway'. But are you sure??

Again today the old - 'play exactly with the beat' thing. But then when someone plays with the beat, it becomes - 'you are rushing - you must feel it'. Is there any solution to this problem? Watching and listening are two such different things, and we all do both.
