Fair enough. I share that perspective. I guess mostly I'm imagining that it becomes hard to criticize those who do jump off the bridge.

Hard to criticise, perhaps, but worth the effort. The best criticisms are the hard criticisms done well. That we do not get an A for effort alone does not suggest that we get an A without effort.
