When I'm critiquing a document I deliberately become dumb. Even if I
get it, if I think it could have been explained better I'll act as tho I
don't
get it.

In the computer world some expert writes the doc and you take it or you
leave it.
In the world of writers, they get together in groups and *savage* each
other's
work, they tear each other to shreds if they think something is not written
perfectly. Then a style editor rips thru it. Then a copy editor rips
it to bits
one more time. Then the publisher cuts out half of it and makes you rewrite
the other half.
