Critiquedrift
Keep criticism of an action about the action and its effects, not the person's character
Definition
Mechanism
A Critique of what someone did names the action and its effects and stays there. Any statement about the person is limited to this action; claims about their character, ability or motives are not drawn from it.
Invariants
- The critique names the action and its effects.
- No claim about the person's character, ability or motives is drawn from the action.
