More severe moderation in update threads?

Some people just look to find flaws and point them out.. and while I am sure that 1C is appreciative of things pointed out by users that they may miss... all this is unfinished.. so I find it kind of annoying at times that folks just can't appreciate the update for it's own sake.. and wait until the sim is at least nearer to completion or even released in a demo before the critics come out of the woodwork.

I would go one step further and say that some posters seem to feel obliged to identify perceived flaws in development shots not so much out of contempt for the sim but rather as if there is some special merit or reward system in place for finding Waldo - or worse - to attempt to demonstrate their own powers of observation or 'expertise' in a given aspect of whatever the screenshot depicts: be it the shape of a spinner or cowling, or the instrumentation of a cockpit, or the species of grass in a region etc...

I think we need to ask ourselves in these situations - how important is it to be right vs noticed??
