It's not enough [I would tell them] to say "I hate this" or "I like that." They were to explain the reasoning behind the expression.

I have heard it before.
I just cannot remember when and where...give me a moment.
Ah. Yes. My wife.
She used to be an interior designer many years ago. She could not stand some of her clients. They would order something, then after perhapr 4-6 months of hard work she would present the project to them. Some of them would look at it and say: I don't like it. That's it.
She explained to me: I would not mind if they disliked the project but explained what in particular they didn't like. An answer I like/dislike really drives her nuts.
Looks like people are the same all over the world because my example originates from Minsk, Belorus
Unfortumatelly,
