A lot of comments here take it on a political level, even if the discussed considerations are (mostly) technical. (I am personally touched by a few points in there and I understand the temptation to go that way myself.) The reasoning behind these "signs" however, is worth its weight in gold and I only hope people will remember and come back to it with cooler heads. Critique (and especially that kind performed on oneself) is almost always necessary in order to get better, even if it hurts. Seeing the objections raised, I was tempted to recommend such kind of critique only if there wouldn't be any chance of breaking you, but I can't anymore. If you are to fail - fail early, fail often.
