the point isn't the criticism coming back. the point is the critical thinking the programmer is doing. the problem is focussing on finding flaws and holes. in social conversations and in life, it is a virtue to let things pass, to support the joy that comes from simple optimism, from believing in hopes and dreams without practical certainty or probability. it is a virtue to talk about things without knowing the context, without digging into the challenges, the holes, the flawed rationales, the white lies that help us feel better about ourselves, each other, and our journeys through life. too much of anything is a bad thing. i just assumed everyone had this problem of focusing on the problems and undervaluing progress and success.
