Immensely harder to build something without a flaw than to find a flaw.

Also, I'll note that the criticisms we level while we review some work in privacy are not reviewed in their turn by anyone else. There should be some humility in your "gotcha" if it has never faced criticism of it's own.

On the other hand, if you're a very good critic, it becomes very hard to create something, as you see flaw after flaw after flaw, multiplying faster than you can fix them. I find it very hard.

I think there's something to that archtype of writers as drinkers. Got to shut off that critic if you want to get anything completed.
