Constructive criticism can be beneficial. Destructive
criticism usually isn't intended to be beneficial. One

A good teacher presents information in a manner
the student is best apt to understand it. And
a little gentleness doesn't hurt either. Alan Watts
was/is a master at it. Richard Feynman was pretty
good at it too.
