So if something is intentionally misleading by the Robber Barons of Silicon Valley ("it's a meritocracy" is the 21th Century version of "there's gold in them thar' hills" - the only people getting rich are the ones selling office space/furniture or developer tools now, or the big companies that swallow up competitors they have screwed for pennies on the dollar) it shouldn't be criticized because "it's a negative feeling"?
Part of the reason that this line of bullshit needs to be criticized is so that nobody else falls for it. Only be criticizing it can we start to look for alternatives.
