As a relative newcomer this critique is refreshing.
I have observed a fair amount of ego and ego-stroking within a system that allows punishment of dissenters. (the core group has a lot of power to chase off things they don’t like to hear and are therefore missing out on expanded thinking.)
Encouragement should not be confused with praise. And correction is not punishment.
negative feedback at the time hurt my feelings, I’m glad that people didn’t lie to me and tell me that the projects were a good idea.

A good take-away message from the above review.
