I did learn that skill much earlier than I learned to accept correction gracefully from others. I had much more occasion to practice tailoring my feedback to others so that it would be accepted than I had to practice receiving and incorporating it.

I don't think smart students are as shortchanged when it comes to learning that skill as the reverse, with the current status quo.
