You’re missing the point. Nobody is saying don’t critique it. Critique is constructive. Meh is dismissive

Be as brutally critical as needed but criticism should be something of value.

“Meh” is the equivalent to “neat”. It adds nothing, but unlike neat, it takes away pride.

Also if we’re taking the meta discussion, then you’re doing the same thing you’re saying not to do. People are just giving feedback , but unlike the original comment it’s constructive feedback.

I don’t get it. “Nice job”, “Meh”, and “This sucks.” are all dismissals, but they are also feedback, which is just as important as long form critique.

And I didn’t merely say “Meh”, I followed up with some more text and added a new dimension to the discussion.
