My neighbor insisted I cut a root flare clean, and it saved a big maple

He's not an arborist, just an old guy who's lived here 50 years. I was about to bury it deeper, but he pointed out the girdling root starting. Has anyone else had a non-pro give you solid tree advice that worked out?

Root flare stuff is overblown sometimes.

Wait, you think it's overblown? I've seen so many trees die from being planted too deep. What specific situations make you say it doesn't matter as much?
