I think this is a really good point -- sometimes the existence of feedback is more significant than the content of the feedback. Invaluable, indeed, to get any kind of input from close readers of your text, and especially if you take it all with a grain of salt, remembering that sometimes the feedback is more about the person delivering it than the piece. Cheers, Robert Hi Leslie,

The critique simply points to a place when one reader had difficulty. This is worth a lot to me.
