Wiz said: What you consider valid criticism is not automatically what everyone else considers valid criticism. The idea that people can only disagree with criticism out of close-mindedness is... pretty close-minded. Click to expand...

While this is true, it can be seen that on every forum when people make a valid, but not already widely accepted, criticism of any system or even just a suggestion that it might be improved upon in some way it often receives a lot of criticism of the type 'if it isn't broken, don't fix it or even work to improve it in any way'. This is, I think what is being criticized, and it is a problem to an extent, and it appears on all the forums, generally laced in with posts which pose actual criticism to the proposal, and counterarguments.....I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but the main point is that while not every criticism is due to closed minded inertia, it is present everywhere and it is annoying when it occurs.
