Recognizing the state of the current status quo isn't being negative. Understanding it and stating it with direct bluntness can be a good foundation for actually doing something about it. It seems like you're saying that a person shouldn't point our a problem without having a solution. That's incorrect. Properly identifying and staking out the boundaries of a problem is an invaluable service. That ability can exist independently of the understanding or insight necessary to fix the problem. That can be done by those people with the aptitude to do so.
