Critiquing design work

Dave Shea of Mezzoblue (who is a great designer btw) on design critics:

I�m almost convinced that anyone whose critique of a redesign is as substantial as:

�I don�t like the green.�

�is someone who absolutely fails to understand the purpose of web design, and should give up any aspirations in the profession.

And my conviction would be just oh so much more forceful if I weren�t so damned guilty of doing it myself.

My sentiments exactly.
