I feel like the story here is that Mr. Peek needed a harsher critic when he was practicing. It's surprising how rarely we encounter good critics in our lives, everybody is focused on supporting and validating and has little practice at really challenging, reviewing, evaluating. Exactly, except the surprising part - it's logical enough, because people have an incentive to tell you what they think you want to hear.

I wonder if there's a potential market for that service?
