I think you may be a tad touchy. I always tell any jumpseater to speak up if unsure of anything including clearances. Most stay quiet but occasionally they might ask about a clearance. That is what I want them to do.
Unless he had an obnoxious attitude it seems like he was just trying to be a team player. But I wasn't there so perhaps not.

I'll nominate the jump seater I just had. We were given a direct to off a heading after climbing through a higher altitude. He spoke up and told us we weren't direct while still climbing to that altitude. If you're going to backseat drive when we're sharing our cockpit with you, at least be right.
Instead you could check with ATC and verify the clearance and see what they really wanted.

That's the best you could do? 
Here's one for you - what do you get when you cross a corrupt lawyer with a crooked politician?

So if someone speaks up and questions any clearance, right or wrong you immediately belittle them and ruin CRM in the cockpit? Even if the guy was wrong at least he said something instead of drooling on himself and possibly on you or your FO.
Instead you could check with ATC and verify the clearance and see what they really wanted.
