I think it depends on the friendship and how much you care about the person.
I mean, really, when you feel strongly enough to tell someone that they've disappointed you it's not because their actions is reflecting on you but because you honestly know that person is capable of more. Or people you care enough about them to not want to see them make an ass of themselves.
The people that I feel closest to and respect the most are the ones that I totally expect to tell me when I've been an idiot. And they are also the ones I feel that I can be honest with and tell them that they've been an idiot. But then that is me and that is how I value my friends and friendships.
Oh god, I haven't been the idiot, have I? Go on... you can tell me!
