Val......maybe he thought you were riding fast in areas that could be rode a bit slower and safer and then you could ride faster in other areas?
when I started advanced riding, I was told similar to you by one instructor and I had come to realise he was right when I thought about it......because I was doing advanced, I thought that I had to prove myself and always be seen to be making good progress (going fast, I was doing corners and bends this particular week and tbh, I was riding out of my comfort zone)
most Police riders know the lines to take (bit like top end racers) and a lot of time is made up here when using the system .....IPSGA....smoothness/safety is key
take on board the advice they gave you and go and practice then do an advanced course to consolidate and learn further
