I gave you an example, but you're right that I didn't do all the copyediting work for you. It's up to you to generalize the example to the rest of your post. G

  ...I gave the same example when I originally asked you the question. It's obvious how to change that sentence. Changing the rest is not obvious. ""If you cut my comment down to "This touches on fundamental philosophy." you could turn it into minor praise but you'd have to throw out the rest.""

    >It's obvious how to change that sentence. Changing the rest is not obvious. Good question. First, I would ask yourself, "would the rest of the writing really need to be changed?" If they're not making negative value judgements against the original work, then I would say they fall outside of the feedback I offered.

      Well my personal view is that it is making a negative value judgement against the original work and that it does not really need to be changed. But your suggestion of a "trivial" way to change it got me curious.
