There is another side to this.  I&#x27;ve seen a ton of technical criticism get delivered with emotionally laden commentary.  X is &quot;totally broken&quot;, &quot;crap&quot;, &quot;not even wrong&quot;, &quot;just wrong&quot;, &quot;terrible&quot;, etc.  There is a way to deliver criticism while maintaining an environment of common professional respect.  Many people don&#x27;t even try.  With the caveat that I&#x27;m painting with a culturally biased brush, I&#x27;ve found Germans (and Finns!) to be particularly abrasive in this regards.
