Well, I consider things like this a critique.  And in my own projects, I try
to be open when someone tells me they've found a problem (most of the time
they were just doing it wrong, but sometimes, once in a while, they're
right).  _Nobody_ is infallible, regardless of your experience or IQ.  Stay
humble, stick to the facts, be honest, and that should minimize the
inevitable damages.  This concludes our editorial interruption...
