I'd suggest you not minimize, disregard, and reinterpret criticism, especially if it's repeated and widespread. It's better to learn from criticism than to try to twist it into something else (into something you think you already know and can control). The latter comes across as disingenuous and only makes the (already obvious to everyone else) problem worse.
