I definitely don't love everything done so far by HuGo or St-Louis, for that matter and, no, the team isn't beyond critiquing.
Every GM will make mistakes. Some moves will appear that way early on and prove not to be so later on, as some moves will appear good on the surface, but develop into something bad over time.
I just find there is too much micro-analysis to hammer points on these boards/discussion forums and it just comes across as blind bias rather than actual critiques.
I guess it's just insecurity from posters who don't actually routinely engage in nuanced views.
Sounds like posters feel they need to pulverize other opinions to establish their own as remotely worthwhile.
Doesn't lead to discussion, but, rather, empty, meaningless arguments.
Social media as therapy. Unfortunately, we don't get paid to treat other posters' insecurities, even if we get dragged into their treatment process.
I'm not aiming this at anyone in particular, so don't get personally offended, but it routinely falls within those parameters on fan boards.
