Criticism is the sole function...

of a critic. A critic is not meant to provide advice. He should not be expected to aid in the development of solutions. He tears apart, rips to shreds, gores, exposes cancerous bloody inner organs to others who have not the native capacity to see them.

Outcomes are not the currency of a critic. Positive input is outside his purview. He is not called a Constructic nor a Solutionist.

His talent is his ability to see in the darkness, his x-ray vision that allows him to look through walls - physical and social walls alike.

The gemutlichkeit of the light he shines there is irrelevant.
