A friend of mine named Willie once told me about a typical scenario he dislikes, where a person shows a group something new that they did. Willie explained how everyone in the group would fawn over the person and go on and on about how wonderful their achievement was. His regular response to this situation would be to walk up to the group, take a look at the thing, and say "Well I think it sucks!"
Some might think that Willie is a jerk for doing this, but I think he is right. People need to know that they are not always that great. If everyone was given nothing but praise then quality control would go out the window. We would produce the lamest crap and behave in the worst ways because everyone always told us it was good. You need complaints so that you can know what's really good. Without a helpful complainer you wouldn't know that the ending of Tron 2 was lousey or that acai juice is whatever.
