Your guidance has been noted and is appreciated. I'm leaving my initial post unedited not only for context but because I feel it conveys a certain gravity as to the discoverability of the best practice that was missed here. I'm generally a fan of the feedback pattern you described... but not always. Egregious impermissible disclosures of any sort--security, PHI/PCI/PII/FERPA, etc. all fall in the "not always" bucket for me.
