Was he making the same mistake over and over again after being advised about it? If the advise was about something basic and simple, then its understandable if laymen were the ones advising, but if that wasn't the case, then the question also arises if the advisor was competent and capable of giving such advice.
As for whether Shk. Hamza Yusuf is a scholar or not, there is no question about it whatsoever. I have personally, to myself, disagreed with some things he said [or was have reported to have said] in the past, but that didn't stop me from listening to him, and it certainly never made me doubt or reject his scholarly status.
