Nobody knows everything. Everybody knows something. If somebody knows something relevant, they should tell us about it (but not if they know everybody else knows it too).

I take the view that Mr Maddox shows us details because he is kind, and because we might spot something that can be improved.

It might be, that of the thousands viewing an image, only one will spot some detail, so it is the duty of the first to spot something to speak up. There is very little point to being the second to mention a detail that might be questionable.

Mostly, we don't know how easy or not it would be to fix a point of detail, it might be a couple of characters in the code, it might be a million lines of code, with code unless you know the particular code intimately, there's often no telling.

So, we can point to possible changes, but we have to accept that the final decision on whether a change can be made is not ours.
