And on this note, doing something wrong and being corrected is always
a better choice than not doing something.

Agreed.


Well...

That claimed benefit is probably true, from a global perspective, but often not true from a local (personal) perspective.

Most of us do local optimization, seeking to avoid criticism. Let's not be distracted by the example of the few, cantankerous ones of us who appear to be impervious to attack.

What changes this counter-productive pressure to keep quiet is making the tone of things be supportive and constructive rather than frankly hostile.

Does anyone seriously think the typical IETF exchange displays this more-positive tone?
