So ... um ... why disturb one's serenity by posting in a thread one disagrees with?
Improving one's own craftsmanship and discussing errors seen in public are not only not mutually exclusive, but quite often the latter leads to the former. Learning from one's own mistakes is good, but learning from others' mistakes is better (it saves time that can be used to make new and different mistakes).
