It's his air time. He can waste it at his discretion.

If you were handed off, he knew you were coming, he knew you were on the
right freq. Not clear what his motivation was in making the correction,
but it really doesn't matter why he chose to make the correction.


Actually, I would think it WOULD be important. There are a lot of aircraft
on, or coming on, the frequency. If they hear you continue to call "Centre"
instead of "Approach", some one of them is going to waste time trying to
figure out if he is on the right frequency, and will perhaps leave it
(incorrectly).

I don't think we are disagreeing. I assume you mean "It would be important for
the controller to make the correction." and not "It would be important for us to
know why he chose to make the correction."
