I think Mr 7 years wants to make sure Mr 4 months doesn't overtake him. It's a pride thing that's blinding him to the benefit he can get out of letting his sparring partner get a feel for what he's meant to be doing in there.
You don't have to be good to bully a beginner.
I guess I should give Mr 7 years the benefit of the doubt though since perhaps as you say spaceball he doesn't know any better. Maybe the same thing was done to him when he started?
