If they're going for a set style in mind, then why go tell them small details if the overall is going to look exactly the same as the style itself does?

No, probably not.
Because again,
if I think the style is shitty overall,
anything that changes will come off as shitty.
Why?
Because the changes would be made to fit that style.
If you enable the style, the style can stay.

Might end up with what JUS style should have been. You could even try clever coaxing and make that happen without the OP realising it. Or be direct and say "I don't care if JUS style does it, I think you should try such and such with the sprite. Trust me, it will look better".
oh man,
I'm sorry I didn't use some shitty buzzword to make him feel better.
baw baw baw
I sit on my stance the style should be thrown out the window,
and I don't need to gussy up the words so that it isn't as harsh.
Shouldn't matter too much, unless you think he's some 6 year old spoiled bitch that gets offended by a negative point.
Which I take the better of and say he's not.

Caby didn't.
He and SK used a mixture of the female characters in JUS and took some other bits from JSS.
You've completely missed my point. I'm not telling you to be less harsh or anything like that. I'm telling you to be more effective.
Tell them to break style in the areas the style is bad. Tell them how to fix it. Or at the very least tell them WHY the style is bad in those areas. Heck, even make a sprite that looks like what JUS style would be if it wasn't shit (Or any sprite that doesn't have its flaws), and rub their faces in it until they understand JUS styles inferiority.
Being nice about it is merely an optional bonus in my opinion.
