When you go to the trouble of correcting someone, you should 
take care to get your own word order correct. You have just 
said, "When one has accomplished destroying, Grissom." One 
assumes you are talking to someone named Grissom, since 
otherwise you have placed a subject on an indefinite subject 
verb.
