If a mechanic has bills to pay and there are no cars to fix and cash in on, he will invent a major overhaul out of a minor regular maintenance. Same way, if a faultfinder runs out of faults to find, he will create faults to find.
Here, faultfinding is the reason why our "Validation Workshops" are filled with chaos, and perhaps why a lot of us are not very motivated to showcase creativity, because in the end, appreciating the time, energy and thought we put into our works will be overtaken by society's thing for harping on every little error in everything. Sometimes it feels like everyone wants everyone to do it right, but at the same time everyone looking forward to everyone doing it wrong.
If you ask me, if something sucks, say it's wack. But let there be sincerity in the judgement you pass, and before you wrap up, give some encouragement too. Tell the person that not doing it all right this time doesn’t mean it can't be done right. Sometimes we need to understand that even the professional is only human, and has a tendency to make mistakes like everyone.
