    Criticise, yes. Constructive feedback no.

    When you criticise without a solution you sound like a person who doesn’t know what they are talking about.

    Don’t do X.
    Ok, why?
    Because it is bad.
    … But how is it bad?

    Where as constructive feedback offers alternative paths to achieve the same goal.

    Don’t do X, it is more faster/efficient to do Y in order to achieve your goal.

      Constructive feedback doesn’t need to offer a better solution. Almost everyone who uses that “definition” uses it to avoid criticism in the first place.

      When I say “according to research A your policies led to segregation and discrimination” to a politician, I don’t need to provide a better solution. Moreover, them invoking a constructive criticism sentiment would be a clear deflection.
