i'm going to have say that pointing out flaws shouldn't be looked down upon. it's really trying to help a team out. i can understand when you scroll through 55 posts and they're all pointing out a flaw/elaborating on a flaw that can seem like it's all negative, but if you notice most people will still comment "nice machine!" even if they point something bad out.

one thing i think you may be referring to is when a team uses the exact same setup as another team and they say "oh we can get on the ramp in 2 seconds" or some other random what have you when it's not physically possible and someone points that out to them. pointing that isn't really negative, it's purely correcting a wrong. i'm not saying teams are bluffing, but i'm saying some teams seriously don't know how to calculate things of that sort. showing them how can really help them out.

just my 3 cents (i usually never type that much)...
