That came over quite bad. I didn't word that well at all. Sorry. You are right, praise makes people happy and that's a very good thing. I didn't want to question the sincerity of such comments at all.
I guess, I wanted to emphasize the point that discussions about stories (what worked, where were the readers lost, what could be improved, ...) are something very valuable, which we miss out on, if we always have to be afraid to say something that's not 100% praise.
