That's also my only nitpick on the article's list. Interpretation of messages from coworkers happens in an emotional context, and if you don't refresh that context every now and then (weekly?), strange things happen. Like, people start arguing because minor nitpicks expressed without any malice are interpreted as "you suck, shame on you for making that mistake" - or vice versa.
