Development can come only through criticism.
I disagree.
You see, in academia, at universities, one has an advisor. And sure, constructive criticism is good and necessary. However, when one is doing nothing but criticism, then one gets a reputation of being an @$$#0|4 ...
The reason such bad reputation is attributing to that is because there's something wrong there. One ought to give credit where credit is due. You don't do that man, you say nothing which in any way is remotely positive or suggestive of anything nice.

Typically I don't reply to the same quote twice, but I have to emphasize this bold part. This is precisely where I disagree. It is an exhibition of exclusiveness... I don't think it's productive to be so exclusive, to be closed off to other things, to other possibilities. I am critical of some KHL stuff, I have been a number of times, but, I am not exclusively critical. I think a balance is needed, because being an extremist of optimism or an extremist of negativity is not good.
Well, it was unrealistic that the KHL would be where it is today, and I am sure that what we see in the future will also be unrealistic by yesterday's and today's standards.
