Such a person would be referred to as a Mess Deck Lawyer. They usually know, or thinnk they know, a little bit about a lot of things, thus leading to having a bit of knowledge, which "can be a dangerous thing." They skate very close to the line, without going over- usually. They also often advise others to do the same. These actions may occasionally result in charges for mutiny or insubordination, depending on the nature of the order and the time/method of obedience to the command.
